Unless this is an online persona, you must be an awfully bitter person.


You think? Perhaps its because the last tube strikes last year caused me
no end
of hassle plus lost earnings (being self employed). And I doubt I'm the
only
person who experienced that. And why? Because a bunch of already overpaid
and
overpandered workers wanted even more cash. And where does that cash come
from?
Well lets look at how ticket prices have gone up in recent years.

It was a strike. Get over it, it's not that big a deal (and I'm talking as
someone who was also hassled). Be happy that it isn't going to happen again
because they've struck a deal!

Let go your anger or the dark side you will travel to.

Speak for yourself. I lost money because of them. It was a big deal to me.

because they've struck a deal!


Oh please. How many "deals" have there been in the past? It won't be long
before they're not happy with their current deal and will be twisting LUs
arm again with strike threats. I'll give it 12 months max before we have
more industrial action on the tube.

Yeah , thanks for that Yoda. Perhaps while you're at it you could use The Force
to defeat the evil Emperor Crowe...
