Good timing, because in about 1 hour from now, at 14:00 BST / 13:00 UTC (as if there were such a thing as British Summer), the London Black Cabs will stage a protest that will gridlock London. Not that anyone stuck in London traffic will be able to tell the difference.

Have you not looked outside lately? We're having it right now!

It's 23 C outside. Maybe warm for London, but not "summer".
Just popped down. Complete gridlock all the way from Trafalgar Square through Parliament Square and beyond. The air is saturated by beeping taxi horns, and it's hot as hell.
and here come calls for a union of all taxi drivers nationwide in the US

This is the perfect time for Uber to announce the new option
14:00 BST is 13:00 UTC, not 15:00 UTC.
Give me a sec I have some code I need to fix...
