  1. Are the likes of nurses that deal with death regularly less traumatized, how about traffic cops, those that break the news to family, or people that work in hospices? Sorry but I don't think rail workers are due more.
     
  2. Well, somebody does here! I have been told that one of my post has been deleted because of an unacceptable comment! Dunno what one it was but it may of been where I used the 's' word. Not Shit but Slough! No, that cannot be it as there is no difference.

    And I have got it wrong for so many years. My youngest daughter has just been round in her new car - a Merc! The closest I ever got to one in the past was walking past one! She offered me a go and I can't because I now have no driving license! Not even a provisional one! I'm sickened! I get my posts deleted here and in an accident that was deemed, by the police, not to be my fault, I don't just get my driving license taken away, but the provisional replacement incense taken away! And then I get my posts here deleted because they are supposed to be unacceptable. I give up!
     
  3. Chill Perry,

    The worlds a big place and we should put it all in to perspective.

    It could ALWAYS be a lot worse.
     
  4. It could always be a lot worse, but I didn't insult, or slag off, anyone and I get my shit deleted. That makes me unhappy. And I can't have a Merc to keep up with my youngest - that makes me even more unhappy!
     
  5. Have an opinion, get attacked, defend yourself in kind, get deleted. Same 5hit, different day.

  6. Wasn't I defending train drivers by saying that they wouldn't hardly notice the bump? Was that it? So, defending train drivers is unacceptable? What was so wrong? When I have been stuck at Paddington station because everything is cancelled, you will here a lot worse! So what was so bad?
     
  7. We need the drama queen emoji back for this thread. I could have used a hatful. :joy:

  9. From the little I learnt from a train driving BinL (from memory he’s had 3 suicides under his trains)they’re required to stop after an incident and find the body and parts, they don’t as you seem to believe carry on to their destination.

    From a Dr friend experience he’s required to confirm the person is dead, having attended a train incident whereby the person placed his head on a rail.

    AFAIK train drivers are paid by privately owned companies and not public/government entities. The fact that public employees are poorly paid is down to factors beyond the control of train drivers.
     
  10. It’d get broken on the authors threads.:confused:
     
  11. Not a breakdown. Just a grump.
     
  12. Choo choo
