I might consider training to be a firefighter but not a teacher, judging by todays news that is far too risky.

I understand the principles behind the strike but it's so irritating that they are striking. Especially seeing as the next lot of strikes are all happening on the same days as a few exams of mine. I need the goddamn tube to get into uni.

Its a Shame Bob Crow died
as the Mayor Boris
had set up dinner with Bob in a Turkish cafe.

Bob and Boris could have worked out a way not to strike.



Reported On ITV1 London just now

One thing I have noticed that will become the norm after closing the manned ticket offices and you're reliant on the machines is they don't don't have the full range of tickets available. My daughter got charged a cheap fare to go to uni in Lancaster and back in a day in person, then when she tried to find that fare online or at the machine again it wasn't there.

Acting general secretary Mick Cash said: "Pre-conditions have been removed, protection of earnings has been agreed and we now have a viable framework for a proper review of the cuts and closures programme.

"As a result of that progress, secured directly through our members campaign of industrial action and the union's drive to get the facts across to the people of London, we are able to suspend the action due to commence this evening and further talks around the fundamental issues of cuts to jobs, services and safety will now take place."

Great news
