I'm writing a short article on ways that small businesses in London can
cope better during strike days - eg pointing out free wifi on stations
with a long wait. Any suggestions gratefully received.

I suggest that they develop contingency plans for unexpected short
interruptions to normal business. That would cover tube strikes, the
road they're on being closed because a sewer collapsed, bad weather,
banking glitches, and so on. Really, tube strikes and other events that
have similar effects are *common events*. If you've not considered them
in your business plan you shouldn't be in business.

And in that happy year when nothing of the sort happens - well then,
that's the staff christmas party paid for with the money you expected to
lose.
