m has to be a tube ticket...


Oh I appreciate fully well the practicality and ubiquity of rucksacks.
Indeed the first store I went into after exiting the tube was doing a
prominent special on rucksacks! LOL!

Eh?

BTW I'm not calling for a ban on rucksacks - don't get me wrong. On Friday,
one of the presenters on Talksport Radio was suggesting that rucksacks be
banned on the Underground! I don't think he fully appreciated the
practicalities (and futility) of introducing or enforcing such a ban. Won't
terrorists simply switch to suitcases or carry-on bags?

I think rucksacks should be banned in restaurants and cinemas.

My point (in a tongue in cheek way) was that one would quickly become a
paranoid wreck if one fell into the trap of stereotyping every person (or
more to the point -every "Islamic looking" person) toting a rucksack as a
potential suicide bomber.

Only if they look Asian.
I'm yet to experience the joys of a rucksack. I've always tended to use a
carrybag for small stuff or a small carry-on bag for larger items

Try a wheely-bin. They're very useful for carrying 'stuff' around.
