Only worked up because I have an annual season ticket.
I am allowed to complain, it's my democratic right. As it is theirs to withdraw labour whenever the mood takes them.

That's fair enough.
London has a public transport system that's about as good as most major European cities and costs three times as much. You muppets.

That's because it is ancient and can't be shut down for any real length of time for a complete overhaul

I think you're implying that London is unique in not being able to be shut down.
But it is unusual, a lot of other subway systems have dual rail setups so they can close down an entire set of tunnels for inspection while the service still operates.

This is is why the New York subways runs 24 hours a day.

If you get stuck between stations in NY
you can sometimes see 1970s graffiti. I get very excited by this, because I am a twat.

This sounds like something I could learn all about on The Internet.
If my life were crushingly tedious and pointless.

Nah, you'd never find that information on the internet.
You can only get it by talking to other people.

If only I knew some crushingly tedious and pointless people in Real Life.

If you don't know a crushingly tedious and pointless person, then it's you.
