I'm fed up of all this strike bollix. I feel like it needs some sort of consumer intervention, like we all jump on the tracks and start tipping over trains and setting fire to stuff. Show em we're angry like.

The other day I was on a crowded train and some people wanted to get off at Hassocks so I pushed the button for them to alight the train. "Thank you" they said.

Piece of f**king piss if you ask me, let the passengers do it and lay off all your bone idle staff. I'd be prepared to bet that most passengers could be trained to press the "stop" and "go" buttons as well if they wanted to boot out the drivers.

Not bothered if they strike or not, whats the point in having a nice car and getting on a Bacteria infested arse sweat laden train?

IMHO all three sides are wrong on this - the unions, Southern and the DfT.

Southern Rail do DON'T GIVE IN and at the same time Government change the laws so that Unions have to pay compensation to the many Companies who have lost money through their workers being late. Removing the right to strike would also be a huge bonus!

In my view trains and trams must have safety as their priority over profit.

I would not want to travel in a train without a trained guard and driver unfortunately safety issues are not a priority in my view and an accident involving hundreds of people could happen any time.

As for people letting themselves on and off the train....

I would return Southern to public ownership Virgin are always going back to the govt. for more money they are leeches.

My Dad used that line for 20 years he never missed a day off work travelling to London and back.

Perhaps the gentleman would like to press a button and meet a train coming the other way.

You admitted recently that you wound up people for 'entertainment' on here.

The 'Lily' reference only adds to the perception that you are a WUM.

I did not state that I wound people up on here for 'entertainment'. I stated that I came on HOL for entertainment. Doesn't everyone? Get your facts right.

Anyway getting back to the point, not sure why you need to advise everyone to ignore me. If you want to do that then fine, I'm sure others are able to make their own minds up.

...because you are a WUM with an agenda.

Remember your signature about me? Not sure why you had to advertise that but you did. Yet you post the above.
