You were quite lucky. I was one of the many who had to walk the entire
way
home thanks to the bus drivers seeming to think that the zone 1 ban
extended as
far as finchley. Cheers guys, what heroes you are. Hope you had a nice
time
sitting at home watching the news while myself and 10s of thousands of
others
had to walk the entire way home. Still , at least now I know I can do
the 8 miles
back to my flat from central london on foot in 3.5 hours.

The company my sister works for put a bar on all emails and phonecalls
to non company and customer addresses. "The extra traffic is harming
our business effectiveness"???!!! As you can guess this caused a lot of
panic until with the mobile networks overloaded until the phone bar was
lifted.

The company is French by the way

For a short time yesterday, at the request of the emergency services, all
networks had a shutdown on personal mobile calls. This is part of the
standard emergency reaction planning and nothing to do with the nationality
of the company owners, more with the physical location of the networks
concerned.
It was a case of follow the ticklist in the manual and later on review the
need for every measure taken.

Yes funnily enough. How exactly would unwell or infirm have managed to
walk miles and
miles home? Or would you just expect them to sleep on the streets? My
mother visits
london fairly often can can hardly climb into a bus never mind walk 10
miles. Thank god
she wasn't in central london , not only because of the blasts but
because those spineless
arseholes refusing to drive their buses would have meant she'd have
probably had a stroke
trying to get home. So **** you!

I hear London has this incredible new invention called the "taxi cab".

Impossible to get on Thursday, unfortunately.

I really can't walk more than about 200 yards now and had to struggle to
get home.

I'm sure I was not the only one.

It's so nice to know that you rushed down there to drive the buses for
them!
Oh, you didn't have the nerve to do that? Just to whine!

Are you volunteering to work in hospital to help the survivors?
Are you doing charity work to support those grieving? Offering up a
tithe to help the innocent?

Or just ****ing in your beer, because you don't think that your
mother, who you said wasn't there, might not have been smart enough to
get assistance, had she needed it. Which is probably true, because her
own silly child is a ****! Maybe not, but she certainly wouldn't have
trusted her own child to rush out and help to bring her home.


On the other side of the coin, my prayers are to all those directly
and indirectly touched by these vile acts. And the truly heroic people
whose lives go on. Whether they've had to show that strength, or will
have to show it, as they continue to live, day to day!

You mean you didn't drive to work, you public-transport-hating
hypocrite?

And as for taking 3.5 hours to walk 8 miles - my granny can do better
than that. Weakling.

Maybe her sight is too dim to recognize the red light? My grandfather
used to say, "the young people have much better eyes" when he crossed
a 4-lane road hardly watching the traffic.
