You can think what you want Hugh. Like I said the FACTS are there, and you can believe them or not.

The FBU don't want industrial action, it would be a last resort. They want a negotiated settlement based on FACTS. So it would be rather stupid of them to enter negotiations with fantasy figures.

Would that be from the magic dividend cloud?

It appears to be stating "everyone will retire at 68, except firemen, who will retire at 60" - am I misunderstanding something?
Yes you are

Alan, in a previous thread you were trying to tell us that you were high management for a huge company...you have just blown that idea right out of the water.
