Oh, sanity has just about been restored now mainly because the government have finally climbed down and, not said that they got it wrong [[heaven forbid) but have said that maybe their timing was not right. So no strike yet. But in answer to Pam's question about trains, yes we do have them but they are a bit limited and very expensive. A lunatic called Dr Beeching recommended that vast tracts of our train network be closed back in the 1960s because cars were the future. Another stupid government thought this was a good idea and so there are now large parts of the country that don't have any railways. Just goes to show the pitfalls of listening to so called experts.
