When being made redudant turned into a positive...
I was unemployed at the time and hadn't worked in London for many years in any event. However I had many friends who worked in London (and still do) and, thanks to having time on my hands, was able to do what many couldn't; spend the day continuously phoning until I reached one of them, then reporting that contact back to their nearest and dearest (who were often also caught in the chaos), and then their friends. Not much in the scheme of things, but you do what you can...
