Yep, you have got it. Companies are reaping huge returns by providing remote technology so their workforce can log-in from home. This can mean that the employees are wiping out their holiday time by working an extra 20 days a year out of the office. :eek:

This is the correct answer to the pregnant women survey, sorry about the confusion, I missed giving you this before posting the next question. :o
The wholesale prices of WHAT has increased by 66% in the past year, which means restaurateurs have had to raise their prices to compensate? I need the exact answer please :)
Ok, ready for your answers to this question now. :angel:
Not correct. Remember please I need the exact name, i.e. type of the product. For example, what type of pasta, wine, bread or cheese - the product is not one of those)
Minced beef
Pork chops
Sausages
Garlic

basmalti rice

You have got it. The price for Basmati rice from Asian producers has soared which means that takeaways and restaurants are at risk of being put out of business. The wholesale price has increased by 66% in the past year.
A survey has revealed the Northern Line has WHAT?

I used to live on the Northern line - just off Tooting Broadway - haven't travelled on it for 20 years, though!
From memory:
More strikes
More overcrowding
More dirt
More pickpockets
Perhaps it has improved, now that Clapham has been yuppified?

None of the answers are correct so far. Clue: it is to do with the kind of travellers

Scots
Irish
Chinese
Rasafarians
di marco
09-03-2009, 15:39
more tramps?
more kids/less kids?
more buskers
more beggars
No, still not the correct answer :) The kind of traveller has nothing to do with the nationality or what skills they migh have. More of a perception about the person, probably mostly by others but sometimes from the person her/himself.
More business men/women passengers than other train companies or regions.
Chavs
Yuppies
Posh
Common (Clapham,lol)
Under 30s
Doctors
women
housewives
men
under 16
what kind of women and men might we be talking about? :D :hmm:

I was on a train home from Sheffield (about an hour) and this lass was sat next to me all the way talking non stop. I wasn't feeling well and all she was going on about was my course and how she wants to be a police officer.
I don't like talking to people on trains. It's not that I'm anti social, it just makes me feel ill if I don't look out of the window.

I also need to look out of the window to prevent feeling travel sick. You must have had quite a headache after listening to her for an hour, some people don't seem to be able to pick up when you don't feel like chatting.

But you might want to steer clear of the Hammersmith and City Line because it boasted the most unattractive passengers on the network. :eek: :lol:
