GARY
I usually work at night, but I’m working today because of the strike. Normally I don’t like working in the day,
but I’m making a lot of money today, so I’m very happy. I’m driving two businessmen into town now – they usually
take the train, but they can’t today, of course. The problem is, the traffic isn’t moving very fast.
MARK
We’re very busy today. Usually we don’t have more than 50 customers
a day, but today a lot more people come into our shop. Every time there’s a strike more people decide to buy a
bike . I cycle to work everyday and I only use my car at the weekends. So today is a good day because we are
selling a lot of bikes.
MAGGIE
I’m having a great day today. A lot of people are driving into town because there is no public transport. The car
parks are full and now people are parking in the street. I don’t give more than 40 parking tickets on a normal
day, but today I’m giving a lot more. I love strike days!
