   Exactly.   
      
   Spike, as ever, is simply being his bitter and twisted self and trying to   
   rubbish the efforts of the operator.   
      
   Moreover, his comments re planning, epilepsy, and mobile phone coverage are   
   beyond tasteless and naive.   
      
   Plus, of course, if it was reported that (say) a school trip had somehow   
   limited access to a pupil on the basis he suggests, he would be the first   
   and loudest to scream.   
      
   He is a hypocrite of the first order.   
      
   I wonder if there is some kind of award for people like him?
