Jesus, when will this horribly boring, completely unfunny song go
away?

When it ceases being accurate?

Accurate about what, the reality or people's prejudices?

Well, I get assaulted by the smells of Burger King and **** and sweat
just about every day on my tube travels, often together. "Every
subway has a ****ing tramp" would have been a better line than
"platform", I admit.

That's down to the lack of consideration by your fellow travellers, the
staff get just as fed up with it as you do. Imagine, you've just had your
meal break and you've got another four and a half hours to do with no chance
of getting off the train when someone comes and sits immediately behind the
cab with a bag of fish and chips (or whatever).


And if the travelling public are prejudiced against the tube drivers
for their frequent strikes and threatened strikes, that's the
drivers' fault, not the public's.

Don't forget it two to tango, people don't go on strike for the fun of it.
Whatever the reason published in the media, it's usually the culmination of
a series of events. BTW, it's not always the drivers who are on or
threatening strike, that's simply the slant that the idle tabloid
journalists put on it.
