Can anybody give a list of what services are on strike tomorrow! I know the schools and the Social Services are affected but is the Council and Customs at the Airport as well?
If they are then is it worth the effort going out tomorrow?

It will be as dead as a dead place at dead time.

It's only two million public sector workers walking out. You'll hardly notice it, just make sure you are out nice and early. 8-[

Oh and at least another two years of cuts to come. \:D/

I find that most BMI baby , Thomson and Thomas Cook flights arrive early, some by as much as 30 minutes. But they do seem to allow a lot longer than say Ryan air and Eazy Jet for the same route.
