An underground ticket on the day they striked.

I went to London today to get a visa so I can work on a cruise ship. I booked the ticket online without knowing that the underground train union was going to strike! Ended up having to wait in a que for an hour to get a taxi which cost £15 each way.

Never mind at least I got the visa, all I need now is a start date from P & O and I'm off! :)
