Default Wifi on the tube

People would probably be better off spending money on psychiatric
sessions if they can't go 30 mins without accessing the internet.


These days people use the Internet to check things like train
timetables, and live departure boards. Or so I'm told. Will never
catch on ;-)


Can't you do that on your phone?


Oh do keep up Colin! Not on the platform at a tube station!!

But if one had a phone or other handheld device which can use wifi, then
that's exactly what one might find it handy for.

ps I can't do it on *my* phone (even up at ground level) because I don't
have an affordable data plan But I've narrowly avoided getting an
iPad, and that would be just the kind of application.
