For me it was an important day to be at work, so I made the effort, but in future I would think twice. It was a powerful lesson to me, though, in how fast the underground gets you across large tracts of the city - you only learn that when you have to walk the same distance!Karenhttp://www.athousandmiles-k.blogspot.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4945005424922588135.post-21204723263929949062010-10-04T17:32:34.835-07:002010-10-04T17:32:34.835-07:00Over here in New York, I have been listening to so...Over here in New York, I have been listening to some coverage of the effect of this strike on the BBC, via my laptop.<br /><br />Every so often, we have also had public transport strikes, but they have affected both the subway trains and the buses. I definitely remember walking, and was thankful that my workplace was only a mile or so from my home.<br /><br />Our strikes were well telegraphed in advance, and lasted for more more than one day.<br /><br />I really wonder how how city would handle a last minute "wildcate" strike.<br /><br />Do you think that lots of folks chose that other option and just stayed home?<br /><br />Best wishes to you, and thanks again for your London views.Franceshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08352407314710067616noreply@blogger.com
