Not for me you understand. I've been going into work every day except the three public holidays we get over xmas[1]. But it seems that the majority of the population of London left work on Friday 20th December and didn't return until this morning.
I first realised this when I arrived at my tube station this morning. For some reason, the entire population of London had decided that they all needed to buy a new season ticket at my local station. And they'd all turned up at the same time as me. Or at least it seemed that way. Don't these people realise that you can buy season tickets in advance. And given that it's the 21st century, you can even buy them on the internet.
Then, of course, the tubes were far busier than they've been over the holiday. I had to let three trains for by before there was even space to get on one. It ended up taking 50% longer than it normally does to get to work.
I'm going to have to reassess my journey and either set off much earlier or much later.
[1] This is simply because I only get paid for days I'm at work.
