Scratch

Here you will find older scratches, musings and other detritus that once were located on the front pages, but have now faded.

Filed away here to collect dust and cobwwwebs in perpetuity, links may break, facts may change and data may corrupt.

On occasion I may come down here to tidy, but for the most, I prefer to leave the past where it lies.

 

Tube Strike

Well it appears that the tube and rail strike is a goer for 1830 next Tuesday until 1830 the following Wednesday. That means a dwindling service from the Tusday Lunchtime and a normal start on Thursday as drivers fail to start shifts either in anticipation of the strike or just after it.

With millions, perhaps billions of pounds "lost" by the City everytime this happens, it is Joe Employee who suffers as regardless what the Unions say, its them that this effects. Employers pay you to be there, and are not really concerned how you get there, be it bus, rail, tube, taxi or walking, or the cost of doing so. If I have to get a cab or walk, my employer will not compensate me in either time or money.

Oh well.
