Posted by Andy Roberts in : London , trackbackTHE TEN LONDON TRANSPORT COMMANDMENTS
1) Thou shalt walk whenever possible, but always from Charing Cross to
Embankment.
2) Thou shalt have thine Oyster Card in thine hand when thou reachest the
ticket barriers, and not stand there, rummaging through thine bag for five
minutes, like a tool.
3) Thou shalt not consume fragrant foodstuffs or alcohol, unless thou art a
vagrant.
4) Thou shalt attend to personal hygiene. In particular, if thou hast been
wassailing heartily the night before, thou shalt take special care to brush
thine teeth in the morning.
5) Thou shalt talk quietly, or not at all, on thine mobile phone when on the
bus – nobody else wants to hear who Emma did last night or how much Liam
spent on his sodding shoes. Furthermore, thou shalt endeavour to stop those
who wish to share their choice of music on loudspeaker, even though thou
risketh being stabbed till thou art dead.
6) Thou shalt not whistle.
7) Thou shalt not press the “open” button on tube doors as this is the mark
of the tourist.
Thou shalt not duck, dive or bomb. And though shalt most certainly not
heavy pet.
9) If thou art not sure how to get off an escalator, or where to stand, thou
shalt not get on it.
10) Thou shalt not wear darke glasses underground. Ye nobs.
