That's right, TWO people complained.

I think people are using this as a reason to vent their intolerance for the over paid pansy brigade in general.

Isn't the real point, the fact that they would appear to have committed a criminal act.

Thats my take on the whole thing Tel. Reegardless of the furore and bandwagon jumping that happened since it still boils down to breaking the law.

If it can be proved to be a criminal act then they should be prosecuted - simple as that.

Unfortunately Sachs decided not to press charges which buggers that unless the police decide to try and make an example of them.

I cannot help but think that if two employees of any other company or institution committed a similar prank, on company time, on company pay the solution would be blindingly obvious. Instant dismissal ~ severance without question.

Yes but if my line manager had said what I was doing was fine then they should be fired too!

Not quite the same as technically they were doing what they were paid to do i.e. 'entertain'
