Trying to play Devil's Advocate here. Although they are out of order with the re-strike etc.....

I only hope that you all remember (with the amount of slagging off they have been recieving from you lot) this when they come to cut you out of your car, or put your house fire and save your loved ones (hopefully this will never happen!!!!).....

There has to be a happy medium for all parties concerned - the Fire service ,the Government (to save face), and the general public (who foot the bill)

food for thought....

Scooby new,

You seem to be have missed the point i was was trying to make. In this country at the moment people have to work hard to succeed. They have to make sacrifices, not attempt to hold the country to ransom.

As far as the modernisation is concerned. Why won't they agree to it? They are in the business of saving lives and we are their customers. A majority of their customers want the service modernised and are willing to pay for it.

Envy??? I earn more than a firefighter so where does envy come into it?? (apart from the pension and the retirement at 50)
