Ah that shower of muppets....As we used to say "Connex - run by Ex Cons, meaner than the meanest people in meanville."

They were spin specialists long before the Labour Party discovered it, and they had an in-house magazine called Talking Connex..... Even the Area Manager called it Talking B******s.

(Still they did give me a Trainee Drivers job, so that shows how poor their judgement was )
