Default Boxing Day (Sunday 26th) ASLEF tube strike still on

As per this release date 22 December (yesterday) on the ASLEF website:
http://www.aslef.org.uk/information/...as_talks_fail/

I note it says "[...] as the union represents most drivers on London's tube
system, disruption will be extensive and significant."

The TfL response:
http://www.tfl.gov.uk/corporate/medi...tre/17856.aspx

Which starts like this: "London Underground (LU) today slammed the
leadership of ASLEF after they walked out of peace talks at conciliation
service ACAS [...]"

Who's writing this stuff these days?! "LU slammed the leadership", "peace
talks" etc!

A wannabe journo who secretly wishes he was working for The Times writing
about military operations in Afghanistan but is stuck writing about a bunch
of blue collar losers whinging about their pay yet again.

Disappointingly there's no mention of "Tube chiefs" though... try harder TfL
press office, now you're in hyperbole mode we want the full deal!
