"Even Share their elevenses"

Nice to know the firebrigade are working hard as ever. A right cushy number working as a Fireman. Loads of holidays, spend most of the day/night lounging around or visiting schools etc, now add feeding birds to the long list of useless activities. Waste of tax-payers money. They should be doing productive work. Elevenses went out with the 3 day week, winter of discontent and Union hegemony in the 70's. Except in certain industries that seem cocooned from reality like the Fire Service. Needs sorting out.

   I woke up this morning to see a flock of birds flying low over my house at about 625 miles per hour. Fortunately, I had just read your article so I knew they must be Canada Geese and I wasn't seeing things.
