Well not much going on around Bank at the moment, they must all still be in their flea infested sleeping bags!

Careful! That's the thing - you looked and listened, but did you sniff?

Cannon Street is normal, couple groups of policemen standing outside the station, few officers standing outside LIFFE.

Not sure if this has been posted yet but I found this: https://smsalerts.tachanka.org/ , which provides different SMS alerts for different groups of protesters.

Where are they then?!? nothing at Bishopsgate.

I notice that the table and chairs have been safely stowed away at Jamies. Shame really that would have made an interesting lunch of table hurling biggrin

I was quite dissappointed this morning. Thought I may have to fight my way through the crusties but there was not a single one at either Moorgate or Cannon Street, just loads of bored looking police officers.

Hopefully lunchtime will be better.

There was a Soylent Greenish bulldozer type thing going along Old Street when I drove in this morning.

I'm on Cannon Street near St Pauls. Not much going on here yet - I noticed they've locked up St Pauls garden though. We're heading down to Bank about 12.30 smile

Cheeky bd!

I work for "The Man", wear a yuppie-style pinstripe suit to work, live in a yuppie-style flat in the centre of town and, oh, drive a 4.2 litre barge.

And I shower daily.

Neither lentilist nor soap dodging am I smile

OK you put a great big smiley after that so I'll bite smile

Were they really arrested IN an armoured vehicle (worrying)

Or were they arrested (and placed) in an armoured vehicle (encouraging)

Either way arrested is good biggrin
