On Strike

We had a tube strike last week for 48 hours which affected the system for 3 days. What a pain, the streets were crowded it was amazing, people walking in the roads. Taxi's everywhere which I thought would milk the opportunity but actually behaved very well and had set prices to different landmarks in London and using the cab share option.

I was ok Jack as I can walk from my station but for many in our office some were walking 7 or 8 miles, which takes me back to train strikes a few years ago when our then Production editor cycled 35 miles to work and then 35 miles home.

This is where the homeworkers can kick in with the bonus of technology at home, but for some they do not have the technology and have to find other ways to work (you still need to publish your journal Right?).

Was anyone else effected by the strikes and what funny tales can you share, has anyone had to ski to work or get a boat etc?

It was a good cause for people to get some excerise, we were lucky with the weather too.

Anyway, off for a walk in the park.

toodle ooo.
