Firefighters to Strike...

[joebloggs]

YOU CERTAINLY MADE A STATEMENT THERE Les, you and Dedworth need to call the Army in an emergency.

I chose to join the Fire Brigade because it's the job that I wanted to do - and would do it again if I was 18 again - and yes, I had a choice.

You dinosaurs think its normal to expect a firefighter to work longer hours for less pay. Would you? Can you run me round your town for half price - or would that be taking the urine?

I got called out at 2 am to a house fire today and got back home at 11.30. So we are there when needed any time of day or night. Want to swap jobs as you both think its so easy?

Forest fire 3 weeks ago 54 hours straight until it was controlled! Will invite you both to work with us next summer and see how you both shape up.

Well you and the other Emergency Services do a great job! Pity some on here think less of you. Oh they will change their tune when they need the Emergency Services

That's the second time you've mentioned other members thinking less of Essential Service employees or taking them for granted.

I'd love for you to come out and say who you're actually insinuating thinks this way

Are you totally mad You're saying a firefighter should get @ £40K whereas a MP should get paid £26.5K
I'd love to know what you do for a living

You must have started early Jamie to come out with that one

So let me get this straight, what you're both saying is that firefighters should get £40K a year. An MP's job is not putting out fires and saving peoples lives and therefore they should get paid £26.5K a year and this will prevent them going out and getting second jobs

It must be great living on planet Jamie & Joe

Someone once said to me many years ago, "Don't ever argue with an idiot, they'll just drag you down to their level and then beat you with experience"

All in response to your ridiculous arguments Joe

By quoting that, are you accusing me of thinking less of firefighters?

I certainly hope not
