Default Me in London today

f it took you that long to walk out of London, how long do you think it
took the next shift of bus drivers to get in to the depots to drive the
buses so you didn't have to walk?


For some perhaps they couldn't get in. But every single one of
them? No , they just decided to not work. Tho obviously this
cowardice wasn't restricted to bus drivers. My office was pretty empty
the next day as well. So much for the british stiff upper lip in the
face of adversity. What a joke. Still , london is hardly british
anymore anyway so perhaps that explains it.

Just for the record, there were 263s (one of the routes you mentioned
before) running that afternoon, though both these and other routes in
N London were incredibly erratic and bunched.

I walked along the 263 route for a good hour and didn't see one. I
think you've been misinformed.
