    You'd think after his death the Tube Strikes would be less...

    BBC News - Tube strike: Commuters suffer 'severe disruption'

    In preparation for Bob Crow's funeral, London underground are going to cancel all trains on the day of the occasion.
    It's what he would have wanted.

    As Bob Crow gets towards the pearly gates he trips on the steps near the top and bangs his head on the gates,
    "***** me, " he says to Saint Peter, "that's a health and safety issue for a start."

    Neither did Thatcher.

    Your point being?

    So it was "blocked tubes" that finally killed him. Oh the irony


    And his burial has been delayed by a week. Severe Underground delays apparently..

    He's signed up for the London to Brighton. However, I think it takes more than just signing up to make a difference.

    Unlike MF who has californian sparkling wine for breakfast most days.

    no the post office!

    She is in SL4.

    There is a bit of snobbery about it you get a few % more on your house when you cross the Bucks boundary and out of the Slough postcodes.

    Windsor, Ascot, Gerrards Cross, Marlow & Maidenhead all have Slough postcodes we try not to talk about it.
