Hamish Macdonell - Union rules
HOW times have changed for Britain's unions.
Dave Watson, Unison's Scottish organiser, is currently giving evidence to Holyrood's Finance Committee on public sector pay.
During an intricate and not entirely riveting session he did, though, let slip a little insight into the modern way deals are negotiated.
"There were no beer and sandwiches, but we did get a nice choccy biscuit at St Andrew's House (Scottish Government headquarters)," he said.
"Although," he added, "That wasn't so bad. I have been at negotiations where we didn't even get a cup of coffee."
Times really are tough, it seems.

In view of the "Union rules" title, I was expecting a joke about 'whisky and haggis' rather than 'beer and sandwiches', but perhaps it isn't funny enough ;0)
