The well-dressed picket

Today we're on strike, and I started the day with a stint on the picket line with colleagues, some of whom were there before 05.00! *waves to everyone*

This is my colleague Yvonne, demonstrating how to picket in style, with colour-coordinated tabard, flag and tights.

I'm not intending to provoke a heated political debate here (Blipfoto doesn't strike - groan - me as the place for that), but this is the main theme of my day, so it stands.

Which brings to mind one of my favourite quotes:

My grandma always used to say "If you don't stand for something, you'll go for anything."
