    I think it was more like 36%

    I thought the turnout in Stoke was around 50%?

    Looks like 36.7% with opposition split allowing Labour victory.
    I think....

    One thing to bear in mind though Mas, is that if you work in Herts, your co-workers probably won't live in London. I know that if I get stuck at work, I can stay on a colleague's sofa. That isn't a real option for many in London, as in London, so many commute in, so the number in the same boat is much higher. Whereas once you get out here, more people live locally, or drive to work. So staying in London (at least initially) may not be as big an issue as you think.

    All of that is probably different for michaels, as he also has a young family to get back to.

    Interesting viewpoint. When I worked in central London, I took the view that if there was a weather related delay, everyone would be sympathetic and working from home totally acceptable.

    DS2 is going to be commuting by car from Finchley Road station area to Watford!

    I'd get the Metropolitan line myself, even going out of London the traffic will surely still be awful.


    You may all remember that HR consultancy I had an interview with who said it was close between me and one other candidate and they'd keep in me mind if they needed someone else soon... Well I got a call today asking if I could work for a few months for them :)

    More than anything else I'm just relieved.
