Here in the UK we had the beginnings of a mass transit service
disruption a couple of decades ago. Happily, with a bit of luck and
adequate funding, the Government is confident it will be over in another
eight years or so.

As with many domestic crises, we Brits have learned to deal with this in
three main ways:

        1. Satirise it.

        2. Shrug and smile knowingly.

        3. Have a nice hot cup of tea.

None of these activities actually set the halls of Parliament quaking in
fear, but they do generate a strong sense of solidarity and fellowship
among Britons.

And the tea is very nice, of course.
