Instead, Boris is trying to make it harder for unions to go on strike.
Well in this Big Society, maybe we should have volunteers with rickshaws? Or volunteers could cover your job, whilst you can't get in?
I met a girl yesterday who volunteers through an organisation, but the funding is being cut for it, so she can't volunteer any more.
i work in the 3rd sector already so will soon be replaced by a volunteer that or a robot
I have no sympathy with todays worthless macho strike
Had a fun 5.30am start to get 2 buses to bootcamp and then walked to work... tube strikes and rain = very unhappy commuters!
I'm trying to decide when's the best time to leave. As early as possible, or a little bit after rush hour. I don't have to be in until one but definitely want to leave my house and be on a train by 11.30 just in case. Then I have the bus/walk dilemma. *siiiigh*
I'm glad I'm staying at home today!
For the cold drizzly weather, as well as the travel problems.

I'd say go early. The rush hour isn't going to die down.
Hmmm, maybe. I don't really want to end up being very early, but that's better than being late. I'm hoping leaving almost two hours for what's usually a half hour journey will be enough. National Rail is still supposedly okay, and that gets me more than half-way.
Yeah National Rail helped my housemate get most of the way.
I'm just hoping I don't arrive to find out my lecturers couldn't get in.
That'll probably happen. 
Hopefully they'd e-mail us to say. Right?
My uni didn't. I'm sure they'll try to get in. Most people have got into work fine.
I'll just get in early and hide somewhere to read. I love my friends, but they're not always helpful when it comes to getting work done.
Okay! Here it goes! If I'm not back by tomorrow, send out a search party. No point sending them this evening, they'd just get stuck in traffic.
