Most Londoners would quit before they give up working from home

London based?

I assume that means having an office in London? I can see why remote workers who live outside London don't want to commute. However, some of us bought or are renting expensive property near the centre in order not to have a long commute.

Being forced into working remotely (read: in a small apartment with no control over noise levels), whilst an office remains closed like in my case is laughable. And then we haven't talked about proper social interactions around the coffee machine or pints after work.

FYI: I've never had a mandate to go into the office, I went in when my job benefited from it. Other days, when I needed to work on something, I also considered working from home to avoid colleagues interrupting me.

You MUST present your official ID (but only the one that's really easy to fake)

strong ID systems ;-)

Oh so funny to read these comments. France has an ID system but has very strict rules on who can ask for those details (not librarians clearly).

However, here in the UK I have to show ID at least twice a week to pick up deliveries or to get access to a building. However, there is no ID system (I know the argument about passports and drivers licenses, but a passport is for travelling which I don't take it with me to walk around town and a drivers license is for driving around on a motorised vehicle which is something I don't do)
