[...] Or the idiocy of coming out on strike because there is not enough sugar in the tea (Ford Dagenham) I didn't know that! But did it actually happen? In any civilian employment I know about, people pay for their own at the canteen or from the tea swindle: not something it would make any sense to take up with the management. Few adult civilians would be subjected to a situation where they didn't have a choice about how much sugar went in their tea. I fancy I scent an urban myth of perhaps even less than "Winterval" credibility. I got near to causing a strike by changing a 13 amp fuse in a plug attached to a piece of equipment that I was using that belonged to my employer and not to the company that was borrowing it. Martin I heard a story (might be another myth Mike) about a chap drilling a hole in a wooden wall and coming out the other side into a metal wall............down tools by the metal workers union........
