Ah yes, the reliable old tube...

Spent most of 2000 and some of 2001 in London, living near
Earl's Court station.  I remember the many times the rain
would shut down parts of the Picadilly line and I had to
find a bus, cab or alternative method of getting to work
at Heathrow (project for British Airways).

Then I worked on a project for Ford near Liverpool St.
station.  That was much better, but I can't believe all
the tubes shut down on Christmas day, and the taxis were
allowed to jack up their rates.  Ack!

Still a cool place though.  Especially walking on Park
Lane and checking out the McLaren F1 in the corner window.

Cheers,

You won't miss it at the moment - the tube train staff have been on 24 hr
strike :)))
