ABSTRACT
There does not seem to be anything to do but start a letter and add instalments until such time as the posts start again, if ever. 1 We are bothered because of the chance – or certainty – of a railway strike. 2 When I was doing my medical training we had the General Strike and I was hoping to get round to driving a railway engine. But it all came to an end before I got that far. Just as well for me and any passengers who might have been so unlucky as to have me for their loco man. I hope it does not get as bad as that although, because that is nearer a revolution than a strike 3 .
