The problem is that the tube fills up with all the daytime tourists during
the morning and evening rush hours.  This prompts them to say, "I wonder
why the tube is so crowded?" much to the digusted looks of commuters. 
Other annoyances on the tube include people determined to read their
papers and taking up so much more personal room then should be legal, and
those with coffee cups.  I don't know why I hate coffee cup people on the
trains, but I just do.

The buses are not that bad, although they are mainly full of screaming
school kids.  Hurry up school term!

Stressed?  Me?  Aghhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!  Wibble.  Splutt.

Regards,
