Ah, "cushy". Yes, top Civil Servants in Whitehall do have a cushy job. They are the ones in the bowler hats you always think about when Civil Service is mentioned. The rest of us - the Plebs who do the REAL work - are "normal" workers just like you. The working time conditions are good and I'll admit the Leave is decent but the pay, these days, is lousy and we DON'T sit around all day drinking tea, no matter what the sitcoms say.

On the whole, I'd rather be an Airline pilot.
