London
Underground stations are closed due to a planned strike
It’s
raining and everyone is miserable.
Some services
may be affected due to planned engineering work
Just
about everyone, maybe not the tube workers on strike who get to stay away from
this infernal dull drizzle but they are
on strike so they can’t be happy (with work conditions).
Old
man with bald head and anorak speaks into his Nokia phone, ‘Gawd it’s a
nightmare out here on the roads’ turns to the little boy beside him, ‘You cold
son?’
No response
Back to his
phone, ‘Nah he’s got his ’at on...
Was gona give
him some chips without salt on…
At least they’re
warm innit.’
Bus
trundles past one motorcycle accident, blue silent lights whirring a top. Boy
stares out misted up windows with old man beside smacking chops down the gob-block
glued to his ear.
Bus rotes 10,
17, 390, N5, 27, 134, 88, W3, 221, and 63 are subject to diversion due to road
disruption
Hell we’ll be here forever.
