Rise above it all

For some reason, London this week is in the grip of a tube strike. The tube people seem to go on strike every now and again - they officially probably have some big grievance about something. I secretly suspect they just want to have a duvet day and catch up on their Sky+. Anyway, the strike meant that traffic was an absolute monster this morning, and will be tomorrow and the next day. Being on two wheels certainly helped, but being on no wheels would have been even better. Just imagine the envious stares I’d get commuting on a hovercraft like the Jetsons. Bring it on.

I enjoy your humorous blogs. Interesting side note - my name is Katie Law too! Although I am from Kansas, USA. I am a college freshman majoring in Human Biology. I googled “our” name and I just found it interesting that we are both Katie Law, girl nerds, and interested in science! So I just wanted to say hey - and I would be really jealous of a hovercraft wink

Here’s your hovercraft, in a sense:

Just found your blog, and am enjoying it. And yes, I’m an actual boy!

When you say ‘on two wheels’ is that as in motorcycle or bicycle?  I tried riding my motorcycle into London during a tube strike, oh, twenty years ago, and it was pretty..er..exciting.

Yes, my reading of the tube strike was that all their demands were met, but they still went on strike.  Musta just felt like it.
