Rail Strike next Tuesday afternoon/Wednesday morning, timed to coincide with England's match against Sweden.
A Rail Strike affects not only those who normally travel by train but those who travel by car or by bus/tube becaus eof displacement - I doubt I shall be able to get a bus to the Tube on Wednesday morning because they will pass by full of people who usually catch the train from Streatham Hill.
On Tuesday, people will want to get home for the football. The train strike will inconvenience that.
On Wednesday, people will want to set out earlier because of the train strike and despite the fact that they might have been drinking.
Just because in 1998 a Tube Strike coincided with a Monday afternoon game and became an unofficial day-off, and thus a popular move - in hot weather - doesn't mean that the public are going to welcome anything that actually interferes with their freedom to watch Engerland.
The Trots who are running most of the Unions nowadays are so full of shit pre-revolutionary fervour they on't have a clue about human behaviour.
