Was a civil servant and while I agree that my salary was "very far from crap", my working hours, particularly in the three 'pre budget' months, were certainly far from "cushy". There is also no overtime for senior civil servants, you work for as long as it takes to do the job.

I completely agree, I took my dog to every lock I ever used but never on a lead. Never spent a moment trying to "manage" her, she knew what to do. Only idiots have "unruly" dogs, whether on leads or off.
