Over recent weeks, I^ve become aware of a number of First Great Western staff wandering around stations wearing fleecy jackets which bear the strap line on the back: Making a Difference.

Is this First Great Western^s bold and punchy new corporate slogan? Making a difference? It^s nowhere to be found on the FGW▸ (First Great Western) website and I haven^t spotted it in any of their literature ^ only on the backs of the staff who get to clean up the trains and platforms.

What he has failed to do is to take a look at the logo on the front of these people's fleece's. He might then be albe to work out all for himself that these people are actually employed by ISS who do cleaning and maintainance for a whole host of companies. They even cut the grass on the green opposite
