Good afternoon!
I hope your broadband is working well, as it looks as if you coud be working from home for the next 3 days. Yes, the tube strike is happening .. from 6 o'clock tonight. All lines maintained by Metronet are affected, which just leaves the Picadilly, Northern and Jubilee open. We'll have all the information you need .. and a chance for the 2 main players in the dispute, Bob Crowe of the RMT and Tim o'Toole who runs Tthe Underground, to enjoy a frank and fair exchange of views.
The Blonde Bombshell has launched his mayoral campaign today .. yes, Boris is back, with a rallying cry of Back Boris ... Simon Harris was there with him, hunting for howlers .. and listening to some policy plans too.
We've spent the day at the Tower with the first lady Beefeater on her first day at work .. . we're talking to a property expert about the new (old) phenomenon of keeping houses in the family ... and, in what will be the highlight of my day, we'll be interviewing the hilarious Simon Pegg on the red carpet of his new film, Run, Fat boy, Run. Which also happens to have been directed by a man also known to be quite a laugh .. David Schwimmer. You know, him off Friends.
You'll love it.
See you at 6.
Katie and Al.
