Not everyone is happy the BA strike is off...

...and one of those people is the controversial columnist at the Times/Sunday Times newspapers of the UK Jeremy Clarkson.

And just for the hell of it here is a shot of what BA (well either BOAC or BEA I'll let any of you lot tell us which - my vote goes to BOAC) hostesses looked like back in 1951. "Strike, not in my day!" I hear you cry.
