"The Tube"

Am I the only person here who uses the tube and constantly gets offended by all the adverts in them?

All the adverts advertise loans, cheap holidays and cheap phone calls. Is it just me or do they see the average tube user as someone who has no money and lives off the government?

WTF??

£70 and 4 stops??

I've got 15 or so to do.. All the way from Ealing to Westminster...

Damn you...

Hmmm. In all fairness, I only have to travel 4 stops on the tube so it's not too bad.

heh, I'm in Zone 3

:-D

Luton...I moved back home at the beginning of the year. Couldn't resist the home cooked food. Living in London was a bore...too expensive...too much time spent getting wasted.

Where the hell do you come in from?

You're lucky - I pay £70 a week...

At about £10 a week, it's also a rip-off...

The Tube isn't too bad.

Unless you're at Vauxhall, and it says on the board the next tube will be along in 5 minutes.

12 minutes later it turns up. You get off at Kings Cross, run up the escaltor, all the way outside, across the road past the building site, then into St Pancras, to find the train to Leicester just leaving.

You then have to wait 25 mins for the next train, which stops about 4 times on the way (the previous train being direct, of course) and you then get into your lecture at 2:01pm.

But apart from that...

The "topic" was about the tube until you distorted the original meaning to your own tastes.

You ignoramus.

Then you'll get robbed. Just do what I do, tilt your head slightly upwards and look and the fantastic undeground map, before counting the stations left until your stop. Works a treat.
