Yes, the irony of that wasn't lost on me either. She said something along the lines of "all postmen do is walk around putting letters through doors and they only work from 6 to 1" and my first thought was "you get paid just for walking around, not even putting letters through doors, and 6 to 1 is a 7 hour day, when a catwak show lasts maybe a couple of hours tops".

She seems to think that people only ever strike for better wages too, rather than other reasons like working conditions, fuel prices, pensions, etc.

I'm putting it down to the ignorance of youth though, that age where some people think they know it all, but in reality know jack-all. Both Sara and Scott are glaring examples of that - a couple of years at uni and they think they've lived, when really they've only just started life and have barely ventured into the real world of bills, mortgages, responsibility, etc.
