Thanks Matt, i never knew that. Thats what i love about being on the Org, i always find out something new.
And i agree with you about the dead and the not complainging bit for sure. But thats a national pastime here isn't it? Get shafted and say nothing at the tie but then complain as much as you like about it.
i'm suprised the queues for the Complaints Dept aren't much bigger tbh, that combines 2 of the great british pasties right there... queuing and complainging, lol.
Seriously tho, many friends have said to me i should be in politics but i have no idea where i would start, you however seem to know a bit more about it so if you have any pointers feel free to post them up mate
