What? Wasn't London Transport part of the UK then? Wouldn't they have had to go through the government of the day to get it allowed. Anyway, for some strange reason, you've managed to prove my point that there was a shortage of skilled workers. Mind you, how you're going to explain the presence of black and asian families being in Birmingham and Manchester directly after the war should be interesting - I shouldn't
think that had anything to do with London Transport.
Oh, and as for you being 'true' British? I've said it before - chances are that, if you're so sure of your ancestry going back hundreds of years, you're probably French. Go figure.
