On the way home...
After I left the web cafe in Oxford Street, I went back to Victoria via Trafalgar Square, and then onto the 1300 Megabus back to Dundee – inadvertently blinded for Aberdeen! Another new skirt obtained in the sales, one size smaller than what I've had until now, and it's still huge on me! Several people have commented on my weight loss this year, I don't know how much, but it's mostly been with being at home – I think – as I don't eat that much at home...
On the way home, the “Lite Standard” (the freebie version of the Evening Standard) had a full front page about Bob Crow (head of RMT)'s drunken antics... The Standard version, for some reason, was not online when I went to look for it.
'Laddish' RMT leader barred from pub
'Laddish' RMT leader barred from pub
By Frances Booth
Bob Crow, the rail union leader, has been banned from a pub near his office after a rowdy drinking session with colleagues.
The group of RMT workers were involved in an altercation with bar staff in the gastropub near Euston station, central London.
Onlookers said they were being "loud and laddish" and that, when asked to quieten down, they refused.
They were so offensive that bar staff took pints of beer off them, and called the police. But the group of around 10 men, including Mr Crow, left the pub just before officers arrived, it was reported.
The incident happened towards the end of December, just after the Somers Town Coffee House, on Chalton Street, reopened after refurbishment.
Mike Bradfield, who lives nearby, was sitting in the pub two tables away from the RMT group when they were thrown out. "It was nothing unusual to see all the RMT people here," he said yesterday. "It was obvious that they were in high spirits."
The management of the pub refused to comment yesterday. More than 80 people have been barred from the pub since the new owners took over in May.
Mr Crow, 46, said: "The only reason that RMT people were barred was for the singing of festive songs, to which the new management for some reason took exception."
