In that case I don't understand where you are going to put it so that
it doesn't get in the way. Most tube trains that I get on are nose to
nose. Anything that you put in will take up space, unless it hangs from
the roof then space is limited.
I would like to see them banned along with the other scurge of the
underground, bottled water.

I look forward to the tube trains full of passengers who have fainted,
each taking up as much floor space as several who are standing.

Just below roof height on the partition separating the seats from the
walls, on the seat side? Or maybe (lateral thinking) on the station
platforms.

Anyhow, it'd be a better concept on trains, especially intercity ones.

Precisely what adverse effect does someone consuming bottled water (or
indeed any other drink) have on your Tube use?

As there are still no bins (?) on the underground they would quickly be

There are bins on the Underground network.

Not at very many (any?) central area stations!

Unless you count those clear plastic sacks that you sometimes see
sitting somewhere half full because their operative has gone off
somewhere and left their sack behind, as an "official bin".

OK but I doubt anybody would use them.

Absolutely none but then if you agree that it is ok to truck water half
way across Europe, consuming energy and making plastic bottles,
consuming energy, then I guess it is ok. What is wrong with water out
of a tap? Consumes a damn sight less energy.

It's very tricky getting your ticket out of your pocket whilst carrying
a handful of water.

Who's to say some of the bottles aren't filled up out of the tap?
Loads of people (including everyone in this here office) do that.

Why don't the green lobby come
down hard on this wasteful product.

Because they are afraid of Murdoch?

I'm "green." Murdoch doesn't scare me.

Next target please.........

Nothing wrong with reusing a bottle filled with tap water, just why
does the bottle and the water have to come from half way across Europe.
