Mayhem On The Roads Today




As you may know, there's a tube-strike today. Rather than use it as an opportunity to "work from home", Londoners seems to have decided to battle in anyway possible, with the streets already rammed at 7:15. Here's your I-Spy cut-out-and-keep guide to the strike
  • Red-faced tube workers manning picket line outside a station (10 pts)
  • Commuter shouting at red-faced tube workers (20 pts)
  • Twelve people trying to hail the same taxi at once (20 pts)
  • Pedestrian walking out in front of you because their head is buried in their A-Z as they attempt to work out how to get to their office (50 pts)
  • Cyclist, riding a bike that hasn't been used since the late 80s and certainly not in rush-hour London, wobbling across three lanes of traffic in an alarming fashion (100 pts)
  • Company director, in flash car, equally un-used to rush-hour traffic, cutting up the novice cyclists in order to try and grab the last parking spot (100 pts)
It'll be an interesting couple of days.
