The annoying RMT station staff had called a 24-hour strike on New Year’s Eve, starting from noon on 31 Dec. It was outragous that they think they can ruin other people’s New Year’s Eve just because they want more money for doing so little! I don’t know about other stations but the staff at the Bow Road Station must have the easiest life in the world! Every Monday, the queue for buying or renewing tickets is so long that travellers have to wait outside the station for more than 10 minutes and it’s freezing cold! Yet, the guy behind the box office would act like he has swallowed ‘the book of calm’ (reference: if you don’t understand this, you need to watch Black Books - one of the best British comedies) and takes his time slowly dealing credit card receipts.
Anyway, we had to cancel our reservation at Hakkasan due to this mess the RMT had created. We ended up staying home and watching some old video Brad kept from a long time ago. It wasn’t exactly exciting but quite relaxing and peaceful.
Happy New Year everyone!
