Interested in the S/A crankset, how many teeth?

I'd like the ABBA, Creedence and Sam and Dave Soulman if you can post ?

Working late one night last year I drove a tube into Richmond. All I had to do was make sure it was empty before I took it to the depot, jumped into my car and went home.
There's one guy fast asleep, stinking of booze and trousers half off. Nothing is waking him up. Got the supervisor out to help, he calls BTP and an ambulance (duty of care). BTP eta is 30 mins.
The guy stretches his arms and decides to wake up. The guy is a little upset when he realises he's at the wrong end of the line but the supervisor encourages him off the train and is heading towards the exit . Result.
I thank the supervisor......
A switch flips in the guys head.....
"What did you say you f**cking Fraggle ?"
and then he drunkenly chases me up and down the platform.
I made my excuses and ducked onto the train and left only around 30 mins late to the depot. Last I saw of him he was being escorted out by security.
Are any of you lot West ham fans by any chance?

Great pics , saw a couple of my workmates in there !

Immortalised on a can !

I'm brewing a stout with beetroot today in conjunction with 'Drinkers for Ukraine '
Totally unofficial of course but the ideal is people make a donation and they'll get a sample in return. If anyone is interested I'll be posting more details when it's ready !

Looks good....

Absolutely

🤷🏻‍♂️ I'd like a pint of ......
Or can I have......
But then again I'm getting old.....

People who say "can I get .....?"
To a person who is going to get exactly what they've been asked to 'get'

When I retire I won't have a connection with any union, unfortunately atm it's a necessary evil.

True, the owner boasts of record results.
P+O are only a part of the whole outfit.
I work for TFL, before the pandemic the Tube part of it was not only supporting itself but other parts of TFL.

I was only providing an alternative view

All unions promote a socialist society.
I could have a bad day at work and end up on a murder/manslaughter charge. It's just self preservation.
The P+O affair was caused primarily by the pandemic.
The fact that the 800 sacked workers are in that particular union and voted Brexit is assumption.

Some of the membership undoubtedly do.
I don't contribute to the political fund as I've already stated.
I'm a member of this forum I don't support all the views here.

I agree to an extent, that would be 100% true when they were formed.
These days a union can mean representation if you are in trouble, financial help/ advice, health and safety and for some friendship.
Where does it say you have to agree with their political ideas ?
I pay my dues for a service and at my depot the RMT provides the best.

There will always be people who need to be led and/or are incapable of thinking for themselves.

Interesting comments re the union etc.
I'm only recently a member of that union having been a member of a different one for over 20 years.
Re the brexit argument at my location of approximately 160 people of a wide selection of nationalities I know of one person who thought Brexit was a good idea.
I personally chose not to contribute to the political fund when I joined either union.
Most people I know join a union for the protection it offers job security etc rather than for political reasons.
If it were that easy to start a new union there would be loads in my industry by now .

4pm today.....

If anyone is in the area(s) and fancies showing some support......

I'm a member of RMT, got this earlier.....

Amazing.

Got mine too ! Great work !
