You said "he supplied us with many things , lead , stone , power tools and so on all at the taxpayers expense.." Had you purchased them legitimately 1) you'd have receipts and vat records, and 2) you wouldn't have felt the urge to openly boast about receiving goods from a BR employee "all at the taxpayers expense". You dropped a clanger by posting that so don't try back tracking. It's too late for that. British Rail was paid for by the British taxpayer wasn't it ??? Maybe Im wrong ... So everything sold if at a loss or purchased was at the British tax payers expense wasn't it ??? ... Talking of receipts we must check up on that as I don't think he ever forwarded us the promised paperwork ... Why he wouldn't accept a cheque i'll never know .... You're being totally disingenuous and it's looking very silly now. You openly boasted in your previous post about receiving "many things , lead , stone , power tools and so on all at the taxpayers expense" from a BR maintenance employee and quipped about it being "the good old days". So either you did..........or were simply cooking up a wild untruthful story. Rather than blindly blunder on making it worse than you already have, i'd suggest you go for the easy way out by admitting the latter. I know that's hard for you and a harsh lesson, but you have to learn. You sound like an old school teacher "a harsh less , but you will have to learn" ... Bet you liked the caning dint ya ??? ... Your babbling posts only bore me and everyone else so for once and it will be a first because were still waiting for your POTUS Trump proof show me where I said I knew the goods were stolen ???

When you are in a hole, stop digging :D Is there any reason to think there was more theft when the railway was in public ownership? If there was I guess its because they didn't have the technology then (CCTV, indelible hidden marking etc) to stop it - as well as requiring scrap merchants to identify and record all their suppliers which has had a huge effect on reducing theft. So even if there was more theft when it was nationalised, it would be wrong to assume nationalisation was the reason for it. In fact there must be more stigma in stealing from the public, than stealing from an unprincipled private company with absurdly overpaid directors?

Well there was less work to do when it was all run by one company - instead of thousands all trying to milk the system and blame each other. So parts of it were overmanned. Some people overpaid although nothing like the company CEOs today. I'd rather give a bit extra to the workers than the absurd sums paid to them. So pay them even more for doing nothing ;-) ........How very trade unionist (lol) ........ ..and what would you call the absurd bonuses paid to the bosses of the privatiised rail companies Do they not pay tax on those bonuses? :-| .........

Not as much as the union man pays in income tax when they are given as share dividends, share options etc. Or like your 'newspaper' owners residing in one of Her Majesty's Tax Havens, trying to disdcredit the EU and Jeremy Corbyn before they make the super rich pay tax like the rest of us.
