I think that this is a racist post.
I am willing to be convinced otherwise, but as things stand I am not impressed.

Racist? How so? It's not meant to be, but I suppose you need to know the area to get the jokes..

I know
every area mentioned. I'm still not aware of a joke.

I don't have a clue.
The references are utterly beyond me. I know it's about the London Underground, but (on average throughout my life) I spend about one day every 8 years on the London Underground.

It's not racist matey ;)
just a social observation or two, and why about the only reason I venture to the east end of London is to frequent curry houses in Brick Lane, though to be frank they are getting overtaken by those in North London these days in so far as quality goes IMO

I've always liked the term
"A bit Upton Park" to describe slightly mad people. Also "Completely Upney" for totally bonkers folks.
Hooray for District Line-related euphemisms for mental illness, I say.

"Completely Upney"?
I lived there for 10 years and never heard this.
