Blitz spirit

In a swingeing petty protest at being 'rendered' from my nice, comfy, City office with views of the Tower, great shops, good food, open air and nice people, I have purchased an enormous tub of Marvel dried skimmed milk.
My office had a kitchenette with microwave, kettle and fridge. I could walk to work from home. I was happy and therefore productive. With a smile on my face, a mug of freshly brewed Taylor's Yorkshire tea fogging my specs with each delightful sip I was also productive. Unfortunately I didn't have enough to do to be productive at. So with a lightning speed which made CIA rendition flights look like Saga coach tours I was out of my window seat and inversely buried on the seventh floor (level of Hell) of a Canary Wharf sweatshop.
No kitchenette, no kettle, no fridge, no view, flaky air conditioning and a café that charge 15p for hot water. No walk to work, 5 quid's worth of cattle car travel or an hour long bus ride.
Result. Anger, misery and NO productiveness. F*** EM.
So found, in Tesco, Marvel dried skimmed milk. Ok. A 60's product but it's still a bit blitzy. Coupled with fine Yorkshire tea, hot water out of the (free) coffee machine, I have an approximation of the recently lost freedom to brighten my very own corporate Guantanamo.
The people cannot keep us down. We will fight on through every hardship. Ironically, in the very place the blitz hit hardest. London's east end docklands.
