Grow up, go to the pub, go to church and thank god you're not involved.

I can fully understand people wanting to know how they can get home: in the
same situation (and I very nearly went up to London today) that's what I'd
want to do - to get away from the area and to get on with doing something
else. Staying put and waiting probably makes a great deal of sense (it's
what the Met chief constable has been urging people to do) but that's not
the natural reaction, so it takes some coming to terms with.

I agree. OK, so it's inconvenient, but how does that compare with the
"inconvenience" (I can't think of a better word off hand) to the
families of the dead and injured. At least you're likely to see your
loved ones again. Some people won't.

If you are desparate, is there any chance of getting a taxi? I can't
think of anything else. Don't they have some kind of disaster plan for
this situation?
The police suggests you stay put.
Try that

General Von Clinkerhoffen ) gurgled happily,
sounding much like they were saying :

if I were a Taxi driver I would be locking the doors and trying to get
out of the city, you don't know who is sitting behind you.

If I were a cabby anywhere near one of the incidents, I'd be going to the
nearest plod and saying "How can I help", not running away.

Yes, and if you read the leaflet they sent out for just such an
emergency, they told you to STAY PUT and LISTEN TO THE RADIO.

I suggest you do just that. Or television, as that is still working.

No, but emergency services need free roads to get in and out of the city.
Only extreme selfish people think of themselves before keeping the roads
clear for emergency services (and yes, I have functioned as firefighter
and having to deal with people just driving plainly even though there is
a huge firetruck behind them)

Get real, and deal with the fact that there are bigger problems than
your puny transport problems

Stay where you are or walk, fss. Maybe someone should lay on a taxi for you,
jeeze.

I've got a mate who works in London, just happy he's not been involved,
getting home at the moment is not really a priority.
