Coventry is holding the Football event at the Ricoh Arena (or Coventry Stadium during the games). I mentioned to my gaffer about a tax free bonus similar to what those working
(sic) the tube. His response was far from sympathetic, but humours none the less.

London Underground workers are moaning that they'll have to do a bit over the 2 weeks the Olympics are on. Therefore are after a huge bonus each (they've just turned down £850 a piece) as some sort of compensation for doing their job. I live in Coventry, which is hosting and Olympic event, so I said to my gaffer "how about a bonus for having to work through the Olympics". His reply was "fuck off"..lol..

Oh damn - in all the years I've lived in Coventry, I never even realised we had a tube system - let alone that Will moonlighted as a driver on it.
That said, there are plenty of old tunnels under the city that have been cleared of coal - so maybe they found a good use for them.
Must go and find a copy of the Coventry tube map

We've got proper Olympics here ....... I realise that the Eastern Swamplands didn't manage to get the ancient sport of bog hopping made in to an Olympic event
