The most London tweets about this morning’s tube strike chaos

Fear. Uproar. Complete and utter chaos. Ubers pile up on top of each other in an orgy of twisted steel as the screams of trampled bus commuters fill the air. Yep, there’s a strike on.

Today London was gripped once again by the pandemonium only possible when it loses its trusty tube, so Londoners responded in the only way possible when faced with a queue of 1,000 people and a two hour bus journey through the Square Mile.

They made jokes on Twitter. Here are some of the best.

Happy #TubeStrike Day! When everyone's furious that their own exploitation is hindered by tube workers fighting the conditions of theirs.

London may have a #TubeStrike today, but least we have our reasonable house prices, eh? [sound of weeping]

We're striking so service will be very similar to normal. Poor at best. I might go for a spray tan #TubeStrike #CentralLine
