do
you kick someone off for eating a polo mint? What about a biscuit?) but

I
do think its time that LU started reintroducing bins. Theres no reason
not to
have then since as we've seen terrorist hardly need them to cause chaos
these
days.

Also had the misfortune to watch a small child eating a burger
on the train. The mayonnaise was oozing out of the burger and the child
was wiping it on the seats next to him whilst his mother was smiling
adoringly. Great news if you happen to sit next to him not.




There are a lot of things that people do on the tube which infer with
the smooth running of the tube and can cause discomfort to passengers.
People who put their bags on the seats leaving people to stand?
However, considering London Underground does not have the resources to
stop people skipping paying tube fares I would love to know how London
Underground would stop people from taking hot food on to the tube. A
lot of gate staff don't flinch when people jump the barriers or push
through the gates so I doubt they will chase after someone smuggling a
cheeseburger onto the tube.
