I'm sure she would. She loves stuff like that. She desperately wants to travel by train somewhere. We have a line that runs from our nearest city to the next nearest, which works out to about an 80 mile ride, but that line is popular with people who park their cars on it to end it all.
Pot roast or spaghetti for dinner tonight???
I turned down a job a couple of years back in London just because I couldn't bare to use the tube every day it would drive me mad. Thinking back probably incredibly unwise. But was young and brash.

I used to get the tube to work every day, and providing you get a seat (and no selfish pregnant or elderly women get on) it's not too bad.
Having said that, I'm glad I don't have to anymore. In central London it's often quicker to walk directly which you'd never guess from the Tube Map.
I don't mind the tube.
I don't like having to sit across from other passengers on the tube. I just end up awkwardly staring at the map the whole journey.

Do you manage to find an Eastern European gentleman to grope you on there?
With time you learn where to stand on the platform to get an emptier carriage, tell people to move down the carriage, etc and it's not that bad at all. I use it as my reading time, which I can't do on a bus.

It's perfectly fine none rush hour on there I can deal with slightly busy but rammed...I did get irate, and maybe threatened to bash someone's head against the glass.
I have personal space issues. No hugs or standing to close or any of that shit.

Me too!
It's burned into my brain forever...

Last time I was on the tubes several times youngsters offered their seats to me, I just told them to f**k off, I'm not that old

Surely those youngsters are only doing what they thought were right, and you telling them to f**k off has put them off asking anyone if they want a seat again.
A polite no would suffice surely?
Quote: EllieJP @ January 13 2010, 3:44 PM GMTIt took me an hour and a half but yes. I was fine. Islington is a nice area.
I'm off to Islington later..
To the Coronet pub.

naw, wee dawnt.
>bare to use the tube every day
That would get you arrested. you need a bear there.

jeese, I'm only joking, as if anyone'd say that. I was thrilled that there are still polite young people left in the world 
Ellie has 'roid-rage.
