Yes unfortunately very somber and true. To lighten it up a bit one of the mines I worked in had an HR manager who was into gold - flash gold watch, flash gold ciggy holder, gold lighter (no gold teeth though). Always made a great show of checking the time, and lighting up a ciggy in the presence of up baggy arses. Pity he had no gold in his heart though as far as our wage negotiations were concerned.
