As good a point as any to insert my favorite Basil Fawlty quote:
"Another car strike. Marvellous isn't it? Taxpayers pay them
millions each year, they get the money, go on strike. Its
called Socialism. I mean if they don't like making cars why
don't they get themselves another bloody job, designing
cathedrals or composing violin concertos? The British Leyland
Concerto in four movements, all of them slow, with a four-hour
tea break in between. I'll tell you why, because they're not
interested in anything except lounging about on conveyor
belts stuffing themselves with my money....."
