Nicely put Jeff.And can I just say - this is what's great about this list - there's not too many other bands I can think of where a comment about one of their songs would lead to discussions about wage rates, unemployment and and industry policy.Intelligent adults who also don't mind jumping around to loud music!Cheers,DavidFrom: Jeff and Jane Scott <jscott@iinet.net.au>

Hi Kate,
Sorry to hear the bad news for your family - bad timing on my part. I hadn't heard about BP workers at the time I sent the email.
All the best,

Please be nice to fossil fuel company employees today. My husband just lost his job at BP as Asia can produce a lot more, a lot lot more cheaply and put it on a boat bound for brisbane and still make a profit. Around 40 engineers alone are being made redundant from his site and the only industry that he has any very faint hope of getting a job with is - you guessed it - mining, oil and gas and maybe coal seam gas. So they may be bastards but unfortunately those bastards pay my mortgage and groceries. :-(
