LU doesn't seem to care and assumes everybody
speaks English. Which is true, but it says a lot about
the London state of mind vs. the Paris state of mind.



I'm not convinced. When I was in Paris, the woman selling tickets in the
Eiffel Tower didn't speak a word of English. At Paris's number one tourist
attraction, I thought that was very poor.


I reckon she found you so sexy, she assumed you were bilingual, John:

That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line -
It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes
