>  vomit originating from at least 9 separate people

does this mean they can now "trace for vomit"?

> the remains of 6 mice the remains of 2 large rats 

who were happily decomposing and no one noticed the smell

> 1 previously unheard of fungus 

I could believe this in the rainforests of south america but on a london
tube train?

> It is far more hygienic to wipe your hand on the inside of a recently
> flushed toilet bowl before  eating, than to wipe your hand on a London
> Underground
> seat before eating.

Given the choice I'll take my chances with the tube.

> It is estimated that, within London, more work  sick-days are taken
> because of bugs picked up whilst  travelling on the London Underground
> than for any other reason (including alcohol).

Well with all the coughing and spluttering passengers, here's a bit I can
believe!
