Bob, in the highly unlikely event you’re reading this: you are an insufferable, whinging, reactionary cretin.
So it looks like there is yet another tube strike on the cards. (see http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/england/london/7354470.stm) All of life’s ills can be resolved by striking, according to Bob’s blinkered logic. “The RMT executive was left with no choice but to set strike dates” apparently.
Just you wait until the Olympic games are here - he’ll hold the city’s transport to ransom in exchange for a 500% pay rise, citing some tenuous grievance barely worth mentioning. He may be trying to drum up sympathy for his hard done by workforce, but this is hard for the average person to do when tube drivers earn £30k for doing pretty much fuck all, let’s be honest. What he’s actually doing is making himself the most hated man in London.

I hate tube drivers, very unpleasant to pay huge money for travel.

Metronet was on the brink of collapse last year, in July.

Times don’t change, do they? It all takes me back to the depressing days of the 1990s when I worked in Central London and depended on the Tube to get there. What a nightmare!
The most infuriating times I can remember were when the service would grind to a halt half way home (always on the way home, never in the morning, it seemed!) and the mindless announcement would be issued: “Services are terminating here, please make alternative arrangements”. Aaaarghhhhh!!!
