    It;s a great idea but there arent that many local to me despite living in the London area and I find they have always gone by the time you get there.Also one drawback of London ones is those stupid tube cleaners who have even tried to take one of my books while I put it down next to me to check my phone!!

    Those stupid tube cleaners as you call them are people trying to do their job, how is that stupid? You really do have a nasty disposition.

    Sorry when you try to take my property and pick up newspapers that have been left there so other people can get the benefit they rather become an annoyance to regular tube users. They can clean when trains not in service not pick up my books and papers and on one occasion leather portfolio placed on seat while getting my book out of my handbag if you think thats being nasty thats your choice but I dont like having them try to take my property. I have a friend who once caught one of these cleaners trying to take her handbag while she was arranging several large shopping bags so they wouldnt get in other tube users way.:confused:

    They do not even ask if it belongs to you etc before they do this either.

    Anyway I refuse to get into a flame war with you as I can clearly see from a history of your posts you have a record of trying to make judgements about other msers including judging some women for how she deals with her child.In fact you tend to only post contentious issues and crticial posts. Perhaps time to examine how "nasty" you can come across as.
