In a Sunday supplement not long ago, there was an article about the
world's metropolitan underground railways.

The Moscow metro was described as "Trains let loose in a subterranean
winter palace"

All built with the efforts of kindly volunteers

The Tube was described as "Trains let loose in a public toilet".

I find Le Metro in Paris with it acres of white porcelain tiles
reminds me somewhat of a public convenience.


That sums it up.

I went on the District Line the other day and the platform was invaded
by a..... squirrel!

It stopped in front of me and looked me in the eye for a few seconds
before going on it's way down the platform, as I had no spare
hazelnuts on me.

The japanese kids on the other platform appreciated it too.

cheers,
Pete.
