I'd like to thank the London Underground for giving me back the Circle Line yesterday. I spoke to the chap actually working in the ticket office (which is what the strike was all about for anyone who doesn't know), and to the chap at the barrier, both told me they were against strike action and thought there were better ways of flagging up their displeasure than inconveniencing the public and losing day's pay. But hey ho... the militants will have their day off, I guess.
