You seem to think I care about who knows I took the tube. Unlike you I'm not
concerned with the BTP kicking down mhy front door and dragging me off to
the nick for Breaking LockDown Rules (cue juvenile emotional blackmail public

information broadcast full of sad serious looking NHS workers wagging a
metaphorical finger and happy pensioners who've dodged a bullet).

As I've said before, the lockdown is a joke, sweden has now proved it beyond
doubt yet the spineless buffoon in Number 10 seems intent on dragging this
country into an economic abyss in order to save the lives of a few pensioners

who'll soon die of natural causes anyway and some tubbies who only have
themselves to blame for their poor health.

That's all very interesting I'm sure. However I was merely pointing out that
whether or not the carriages were nice and empty as they were in your case,
would presumably depend on the time of day your journey was made. So that
without any such information, your otherwise helpful suggestion that others
might care to follow your example, is of very little use I'm afraid.

I went into town about 12.30 and came back around 2.30. At one point I
literally had an entire piccadilly line train to myself apart from the driver.
It was quite bizarre.

Thanks. Although with everything closed, presumably, it would probably
be quite frustrating walking around with nowhere to go except maybe
the odd supermarket. Maybe Sainsburys on TCR or Tesco in Googe St
frinstance.

I was taking pictures of the lockdown plus having an nice walk through the
backstreets of the west end and mayfair.

What *would* be useful at any time, would be the ability to take
pictures of streets, buildings, etc. without the intrusive presence
of parked cars everywhere. Along with too much street furniture, about
which nothing can be done of course. Traffic (and pedestrians) can be
largely avoided by starting at 5.a.m. in summer time; although that
then presents the problem of having all the trees in full leaf.

Sophie Raworth, the newsreader, is a keen runner, and often commutes to the
BBC that way. During the lockdown, she's been varying her six mile route
to pass through unusually empty areas at lunchtime, and has been taking
photos:

Thanks.

5.a.m. stillness, but in the middle of the day. And in Central London.

Plus the possibility of encountering Sophie Raworth, or Boltar, coming the other way.

Very eerie.

Not sure which one scares me more!

It's nice when you've got a well-paid part-time job and have the luxury
of being able to do that kind of thing.

Part-time job? She arrives at lunchtime and does the Six and Ten.

Looking at the locations she's photo'd I think she's been taking a rather
convoluted route to work as AFAIK she lives in west london. Not sure how
Kings Cross comes into a running commute to the BBC. Not that I blame her but
it does grate a bit when all the virtue signalling presenters up there have
been repeating the stay at home propaganda ad nauseaum for months.
