Last night on our way home we walked past my ‘regular’
Buckys and I was delighted to see that is finally about to open. So this
morning where I headed. Nice to see the staff again. I really didn’t like the
new layout of the store, not a nice place to sit and chat for nearly an hour
each morning, which is what I do every morning. The store is drafty and the
seating is now all bench seats along the wall and not nice and cosy as it was
before. I asked the staff if they like it and they said that they did and that there
was much more room for them behind the counter and the working condition are
better. That is really all at that mattes, so I will now go to a different
Buckys, there are five of them around Canary Wharf so I have few more to choose
from.
I think I wrote about the underground drivers holding the
country to ransom, demanding huge bonuses to work during the Olympics. Hang on a
bit aren’t they just doing their regular work? Yes they are. OK so the trains will be much fuller, but as
the drive sits secluded inside cab it makes no difference to them how full the carriages
are. So the bus drivers re now demanding
bonuses and today they were supposed to be out on strike because the train driver’s
demands for more dosh during the game shave been met. I think there is something
radically wrong with the idea don’t you?
There are some daft plans in place for the games. Like
having special traffic lanes that will only be for VIPS’s and competitors. Never
mind the thousands of ordinary commuters who will be affected by the more congested
roads. Whose idea was that?
Almost everyone I’ve spoken to is not looking forward to the
games and lots are planning to be away. I think the latest British Airways add
is a direct result of ordinary Brits wanting to escape. The campaign is aimed
at encouraging brits to stay home. Bit late for that don’t you think.
