Loz, what terrible assumptions you make! I am assuming you have never bought anything unless it was handmade by well-fed East Dulwich locals. It's amazing how it's fine and pc to stereotype about middle-class creative people but you're not allowed to criticise a "poor working class bus driver" who is violent, incompetent and being paid a decent wage thanks very much! And I must say, some people in the creative industries are of course tossers, but I work pretty hard and conscientiously so I have little sympathy with those who don't. Unlike bus drivers, jobs in our industry are massively in demand. Meaning more is demanded of us, and if we don't deliver, we're out of the door! And on the point about the terrible safety abroad, yes. But that's not what we're talking about.
