Re: Xmas travel madness from the uk
Pain in the arse when you've been paid for doing nothing for the last 3 years and then you are actually required to do some hard graft for a living. I hope pubs, restaurants and every other service they use refuse to serve them for the inconvenience they cause everyone else.
Yes sir, I can boogie, I can boogie, boogie, boogie all night long.

You arent kidding... my only association with the uk at present time is that ive got a package hung up with the Royal Mail, and its taking forever to get over to Eastern Europe, although i guess i could afford to lose it. Sometimes they ship mail inside of airplanes, and keep in mind the postal employees are also striking.Londonmail wrote: ↑Fri Dec 09, 2022 12:09 am Hope no one has booked over the Xmas from the uk, the fuckers are going on strike.... also hoping its all cleared up by the 9th Jan...

Well, is some are thinking about sneaking out of UK to France via eurotunnel, check it first because Christmas is a great strike spot in here too, train-wise....

Yet another piece of evidence that the UK is going to shits. What's next, prison revolts?
Re: Xmas travel madness from the uk
I have lost count of the different groups striking or announcing imminent strikes.
Cost of living crisis, blackouts likely if the wind doesn't blow enough on the wind farms, inflation at 11%, Strep bug killing many kids (I am surprised this hasn't cause complete panic), no trains, ambulances, nurses, postmen or passport officials over Christmas. Apparently no turkeys either. What a mess.

Because it's common as muck Strep A and most people have no symptoms beyond a tickly throat
It's around 1 person of 700 cases who gets a severe infection. Severe Strep A sometimes called Scarlet Fever is serious - killing roughly 10%
While it's tragic that 12 kids or so are dead, it's always going to happen when there are 70 million people in the UK
I see some news sources attributing the higher (60% or so higher) than average scarlet fever toll to covid lockdowns reducing the natural herd immunity humans have to annual and seasonal ailments - Well, who could have thunk it?!
