Goole this morning about 8..... Airmyn Road, the one up to Boothferry Bridge, covered in Union Flags... and a big smile, at the school, the pupils uniformed great to see, all the girls looking immaculate, beautifully presented, hair blow dried, ironed, curled and the lads... 'you've got 2 minutes to get ready'....
 
Further to my previous post regarding the Coldplay gigs being rescheduled due to the tube drivers strike.

Tube drivers apparently earn £72,000 a year and because they have had a number of decent pay rises in recent years are now striking to get the basic working week of 35 hrs reduced to 32hrs.
Bet they don't have much sympathy from the Coldplay fans that have been inconvenienced.

Their families get free travel on the tube but they also want a 75% discount on the mainline railways. Unlike nurses their job could be done away with by using driverless trains like other countries do on metro systems.

The cost of retrofitting fully-automated management systems, signalling, stations, trains and lines onto a 150 year old tube network, plus closing large sections of it for months at a time whilst it was put into place, would cost tens of billions and be an enormous capital project. The existing driverless train networks, such as the DLR, have been built that way from scratch.
