I used to care Clive but we got a new boss just recently. He decided if we go on faults and are put up in a hotel we don't get digs money. £44.50 per night. NOW I've gotta pay fo rent my house wether I'm there or not. SO if I go away on faults I'm worse off than if I don't. Eveery day I'm away I lose 44.50 we don't get standby or call out allowence. SO I USED to care but charity begins at home. I'm at home getting the same amount of money I would. If I was out in the storm risking life an limb...... I'm NOT THAT IRISH....

Maybe they should hire more lineman, just think, if they gave up their millions in executive compensation they could hire hundreds of new lineman.
