    Where do you want to put that hose

    http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/scotland/...st/5301334.stm


    Nine firefighters who refused to offer safety advice to people attending a gay pride march have been disciplined.


    Strathclyde Fire and Rescue said all nine would undergo diversity training.

    Absolute classic

      Hehe. Great story. One of them has been demoted and fined £5k. That must make his annual salary about £15k now. Bless him.

          Firemen are currently on (about to) strike in Merseyside. No green goddesses available as the army have 'other priorities'.

                  One of the Liverpool firefighters is Warren Bradley, who manages to be leader of Liverpool City Council in between shifts, so no wonder he's protesting about extra hours and a new shift system.
