Not happening. I have been out of the pub meets for a year, but I do know that @Fatso, like yourself, is one of these forum members that no-one has ever seen.
For all we know, you are AI constructs running on an overheating Commodore 64.
Look, if theyāre only doing essential consruction, thereās no way theyāre going to devote a crane and demolition team to get you out of your house.
London transport services will be cut without bailout today, says mayor
The London mayor, Sadiq Khan, has told LBC that without the government agreeing a grant for Transport for London today, they will be forced to cut services on busses, tubes, trains and trams across the capital.
Over the last two months weāve lost more than 90% of our fares and advertising is down and so is the congestion charge. So weāve been spending Ā£600m a month, paying for services and getting nothing back from our customers, or very little.
So although we had at the start of this crisis a cash reserve of north of Ā£2.1bn, thatās running out and weāre required by law to keep two monthsā worth of money in reserve to pay for services.
So weāve been involved in weeks and weeks of negotiation with the government and its really hard in getting support from them. Being blunt, today is the last day. Unless the government today gives us confirmation of the grant that we need then the consequences could be quite severe and ramifications for all of us will be huge.
He continued:
[Thereās] something called the Local Government Act, section 114, and that says basically weāre treated like a local authority and because we canāt go bust, weāve got to make sure weāve got the money to pay for services. The only way to balance the books is to cut services.
So ironically at a time when the governmentās wanting us to increase services, ramp up services to get into the recovery phrase, we may be required to cut services because the government is failing to give us the grant support we desperately need.
