Cynical but hilarious. One unnecessary additional stress (imho) is being bombarded by announcements from Booming (or do I mean "blooming"?) Boris every few minutes at main line London termini - and possibly elsewhere. People on the move won't catch the whole thing anyway and anyone forced to hang around will hear this helpful (!) message far too often!

I'm not surprised, I am going to avoid London as much as possible now, yesterday the South Bank was packed like sardines, couldn't move and the Clippers had stopped selling tickets because the queues were too long!
Preferred Cinema's now Paignton or Exeter!

Yup, what with the weather, the Olympics and the school holidays, the office seems the safest place to me!

Indeed. I did wonder whether to say "an office outside London" but I don't want everyone else trying to seek refuge there!
