Ter-bloody-riffic

London Underground staff have voted "overwhelmingly" for strike action in a dispute over pay. Never mind the bloody Olympics - how am I going to get to work? And indeed, how am I going to get back in time to vote?

Hmmm, could be worse, I suppose. If I'm back in The City (I'd be lucky), I can get the 133 bus. If I'm still in Hammersmith, there's the 93 and 220. It'll be brutal, though.

Update: Hmmm. I'd forgotten that I'm not in work that day - I'm off to Reading to help my ex move. Getting to Paddington might be interesting...

This is the day that I vote for working from home...

Can't you vote at your local polling station BEFORE you go and do anything else?
That's always worked best for me :-)

I wanted to get an early start, but I may have to, Mark...

If you didn't already know, apparently this strike's been called off...
