Oil To Prolong Candle Life

Strike strikes London (part 2)

And so passed the evening and morning, strike the second day. Without major changes. I missed the peak hours from home before, and coming back for them, although I would prefer to use the opposite strategy. To London Bridge Underground Station, the intersection between the only two fully operational lines, could not enter. On the streets still a lot of pedestrians, cyclists, however, more because of the weather.

I also saw a couple of times as passengers in the taxi literally mentioned, I think that taxi drivers the strike did not complain ... although the cars around noon again practically constant in place. I read today that the free running ferries from London Bridge to Tower Bridge, which is not specifically a welcome convenience (these bridges some 400 meters away.)

I personally during those two days a lot has not suffered greatly, but as I said, my line work. Most people go out early from work, thereby compensating for the long journey. I wonder if indeed the loss of business amounted to 100 million pounds. Indeed, fewer people are working ... on the other hand, once considered the the issue of security drills. In addition to the weekly test of the system are held from time to time trial evacuations. It takes less than half an hour, but if you count lost time on the money is facing quite a large amount. In the case of a building, which employs 2,000 people safely back to the loss of tens of thousands of pounds. E, probably an exaggeration after all:) This remark, in high wierzowcach alarm is not activated at the same time on all floors, so there was no traffic jam on the stairs. I do not remember, but I first turn on the higher, because they have more .. Well, unless you have a fire so crazy that there is no need to evacuate them, then you can not turn at all;) Generally I try not to run over 4 floors.

still on strike. I think the strike itself would not be anything terrible, if not the size of London. Most people coming to London, believes that 40 minutes by subway from the center of it must be the suburbs. The truth is that London is a terribly big city. And actually, of Italy, as regards the type of building. Like living here all of a sudden 7 million people (depending on how counted), but live in such a low mud huts (ok, houses with brick), that stretches beyond the horizon is all. For comparison, the satellite picture of Krakow and London on the same scale (the height of one image is 50km, thanks to Google Maps;). To make it easier to find, have said Krakow.

advantage is that a person definitely sober on the way home ...

And yet I will add that Krakow is the black spot on the left, a large dark on the right is Nowa Huta (well I know, too Krakow).
