People get all territorial and neurotic, there is always engineering work going, it is slow, overcrowded, dirty, smelly and claustrophobical. I have to take the bloody underground every day to get to work, and everytime I touch my card in the turnstiles it reminds me of how expensive it is to travel in the underground. Ah, and you alwyas take the risk of being blown -up when you are inside the tube, especially when it is going under the Thames. It is indeed a daredevil act to get yourself into the London Underground every day really.

I recommend cycling to work instead, and should start doing that myself, once I move closer to the city centre.
