I caught the tube home yesterday and witnessed the last legal evening of drinking on the London underground. This was advertised on the radio as being promoted as a "leisurely, distinguished affair" simply a celebration of the the underground and London culture.

What I actually saw, was two very drunk young American guys dressed as beer bottles, racing at full speed down the platform alongside the carriage they had just fallen out of, and failed to get back on in time. They got up to quite an impressive speed considering they were dressed as, and were holding beer bottles, lol....

remind me again, why is it they want to ban drinking on the tube?
