Oh an example came to mind. Recently at the London Olympics the London Symphony Orchestra, one of the best and most famous orchestras in the world, were told they ought to play for free, and see it as an honour to be allowed to take part. Did they also ask catering staff or security guards to work for free? Nope....

Errrrmmmm..... wasn't their a huge amount of volunteers who pretty much made the whole olympic event successful?

There is a difference - people wanted to be part of it so they volunteered. Good on them. These are professionals doing a job that only a professional can do, and THEY were asked to be a part of it. See the difference? If they can get a volunteer orchestra together that will do as good as job as the LSO, then they should go and do just that.

Does anyone know if Mr. Bean got paid? Cause frankly I think him playing that one note at a perfect pace was the only thing holding that orchestra together.
