    it's the underground and all the rushing around:eek::eek::eek:! That said I have usually been rushing around on the way to places for work. I've been on Glasgow and Paris undergrounds lots and they don't really bother me but London...:o

    I haven't really found much rushing around TBH - there is the occasional runner in the tube but that's about it. But that's one advantage of being the size I am. If I'm not in a hurry, then you just have to live with going slowly...

    Tube in rush hour: The people around you will be snugger fit than your underwear... :eek:

    Well done on that Skinty, I would have come home via the chippy:rolleyes:
