In the context of travel-induced stress, London-based companies in highly paid sectors may like to know that the Rental Division of P&P Corporate Systems is offering a way to dodge miserable Wednesdays travelling to and from work in these strike-bound days. For the princely sum of UKP70 P&P will provide a key executive with a Toshiba T1200 laptop, delivering it to the office on Tuesday and picking it up again on Thursday, enabling the executive to work at home on it on the Wednesday. Really shrewd companies that do their sums will, however, probably find it more cost effective to buy some laptops as a contingency plan. Nevertheless, P&P claims to be doing a roaring trade in laptop rental and has evidently found the silver lining in British Rail’s current industrial cloud.
