Morning after...

...I'm working from home today and so is Flyingpops (which might be interesting as we only have one PC on the internet)...think we'll have to stagger our days a little bit and work shifts...

From the sounds of things most people *are* commuting in (although volumes are down) and the transport infrastructure is largely back up and running, although understandably Kings Cross is still largely locked down as a crime scene, along with the other areas directly affected...

One thing that has really shocked and upset me though is this story on the BBC...apparently some hoteliers massively inflated their prices to take advantage of the increased demand yesterday...vampires, they should have opened their doors for free... :(

Its an ill wind, I jumped in a cab on the way back to south London yesterday - yes I was lucky but the cabby was in a particular good mood, 'havnt taken this much in a day in years'. I guess people take an opportunity without really thinking about the moral aspects, make a quick buck - its only the pap' that would pay anyway and who cares about them.

Flyingpops walked for 45 minutes through central London without even seeing a single cab! So yes, you did get rather lucky! ;)

I wonder how many people just decided to forget the cost and get a cab home all the way out of London...
