Southern Rail staff are staging yet another three day strike, meaning yet more misery for commuters.
But while it’s bad enough for them, spare a thought for who they might have waiting at home.
One nine-year-old boy clearly decided enough was enough, so he sent in a brief letter, which was shared by BBC Sussex, to let everyone know what these strikes mean for him and his mum and dad.

In it, schoolboy Frankie Cottrell from Hove manages to make the whole thing seem so simple, writing: “At school we are taught to negotiate with each other to sort out differences and clearly you have not learnt to do this.”And his point has really stuck with people.
@BBCSussex @SouthernRailUK why a 9yr old can sum it up so nicely. Grown ups should learn from him @nsoamesmp #southernstrike #southernfail

Hopefully his letter reaches the right people.
