It's a strange sight to see no security. I don't know if I feel more or less comfortable than usual. In fact I was still deciding when I heard the familiar 'hisssss.click!' of a Stormtroopers radio in the distance.

Where was he?

I scanned the road for the familiar dark blue all-in-one suites that denote the University Security Services are around.

Nothing.

'Hissssss.click!'

Was I going mad?

Apparently not! The University sent me an e-mail to explain:

'Due to the ongoing Security Service strikes, members of the security services who are continuing to work will do so in civilian clothes. This is due to the fear of intimidation by members who are on strike. We thank you for your understanding and cooperation at this time.'

Poor security guards! Maybe they should hire yet another security firm to protect the ones under attack.

(Hmm, must remember to keep my door locked today!)
