> my employer demands that I take the cheapest flight to attend a conference.

WTF!

Several of my employees bowl from the pavilion end. Is utterly unthinkable to insist on them transiting through a territory so hostile to their very existence in order to save a few quid on expenses.

Your post is mind boggling to me. Is this how you expect to be treated as an employee?

Well, it's more of a question about what you're willing to make a fuss about.

What does that mean?

[skissane]

bowl from the pavilion end is euphemistic slang (chiefly British) for a gay man. It comes from cricket - the “pavilion end” is one end of the cricket ground.

Would you like me to draw a map for you?
