London Underground
It's off theme - but to hell, if I stayed on theme then this would be bloody dull (no comments from the back that it's dull anyway!).Had to go up into London today for work. My original plan was to get a taxi from Paddington and not use the tube, but on seeing the taxi queue go on for about 8 million miles I decided to leap on the underground. Yes, I did give it a second thought as I ran down the stairs. I gave it a third thought as I bought my ticket and when I got on the train on the Victoria line towards Stockwell I gave it many thoughts. My destination was Vauxhall, one tube stop up from Stockwell and two up from the Oval. For those with poor memories - Oval was the destination of one of the failed bombs on 21st July and Stockwell was the station where the Brazillian, Jean Charles de Menezes got shot by police in error on 22nd July. I have to admit I was glad to get off the tube.
I then had to walk past the M15 building down near Vauxhall, past armed police and on towards my eventual destination. I got a taxi back to Paddington after my meeting...
