Not sure if the provincial sorts get it, though.
THe tube is a wonderful relic of the old britain that is disappearing too quickly. So many of the things that were commonplace in my youth have disappeared- trade unionism, adequate public libraries, speed. It is nice to know that the tube is still somehow creaking along, smelling foul and looking far more dangerous than it actually is. Bravo, TfL.

Now... does anyone know where I can get some speed?
