    I took the Thames Clipper in this morning as didn't want to risk the early tubes still being delayed. Lovely way to travel in when the weather is like this

    Newsnight last night was a good one.
    Somebody at last called out a liar to their face.
    He, (Mick Lynch) called him a liar 17 times. 
    Lying is Lynch's core activity - he and Schapps have more in common than either is prepared to admit
    It's not clear to many why either of them carries on when we all know they're both utterly dishonest
     Lynch doesn't go by 4 different names conning people with get rich schemes.
    Yet to see Lynch get called out for being dishonest, not something that could be said for some politicians.


    Mick Lynch is a very impressive operator, but one has to bear in mind that the RMT advised it’s members to vote leave without providing a solution as to how leave would manifest itself on the 300 mile land border between the UK and the EU.
    So the RMT and Mick Lynch definitely have feet of clay.

    Curious - why do you describe him as such?

    Because he refuses to be tricked by stupid questions in interviews, and tells it straight what he is about, whether you agree with him or not.

    I agree he copes well (media training I assume) and doesn't get agitated / put off his stride during interviews. He made (I think) Kay Burley from Sky look quite silly the other morning. As you say whether you agree with him or not.

    No trains this morning on the Woolwich line, all cancelled so far, buses all snarled up under the Blackwall tunnel at the roundabout, and when you get to North Greenwich Station the tubes are all severely delayed too. Wish I had the option of working from home
    Should have got the Elizabeth line into town 
    Work in South West, so usually get to Waterloo and go back out from there, Lizzie doesn't help that much with that regard
    I’m in Waterloo tomorrow lunchtime. Taking the Lizzie from Woolwich and can change at either Canary Wharf or Tottenham Court Road for the Jubilee or Northern Line respectively. Longest part of that journey would be the walk between the lines at the Wharf.

    Meeting old work mates for lunch. Depends on the weather & timings, but definitely an option. Might go for the Clipper for the home trip.

    Where does it go from and too mate?
    Can get to the City from Putney or as far East as Barking. Load of piers in central so if you work anywhere between Westminster and Tower Hill you should have one within walking distance.

    Love travelling on the Clipper. Just wish they’d run at lest one an hour during the day to/from Woolwich, outside of the morning and evening rush hours, which is all they currently do.

    Unfortunately as with covid that I worked throughout, london workers aren’t all behind a desk - construction workers etc. 

    I need to drive to Chancery Lane in morning to supervise a crane lift will need to leave at 5.45 to gaurantee to be there for 7.30. 

    I also worked all throughout covid and get the sentiments of a strike but most construction workers if they can’t get in they don’t get paid 

    For the working man and all that are what unions stand for……..

    Got important meetings so have had to head in.

    Elmstead woods into London, trains every 10 minutes, and 12 coach trains rather than 10...

    Got a seat no problem. 

    Getting home will be the issue I think as I don't think I'll be able to get away from work drinks until 8 at the latest, and I reckon everyone will be trying to order taxis..

    Trains running fine just like Tuesday, a little busier today.

    runs smoother on strike days than the days between but they know that

    Long delays and cancellations from Kent on the Thameslink to Charlton tonight.

    Seems okay heading towards Kent, for now, but delays expected until end of day.
