The last time we went on the tube was to go with my family to see We Will Rock You. I was struggling to walk that day and as well as using my stick was hanging onto my mum's arm for dear life - someone actually shoved me from behind and shouted at me to walk faster - needless to say she got informed that she would shortly need surgery to remove my walking stick from one of her orifices! My little nephew was my secret weapon on the tube trains - being little he was able to leap onto the train as the doors opened and would lay across some seats to save them for me and my mum - because of his adhd he is quite brazen and in this instance it was very useful to have him around as he wasn't embarrassed to behave like all the other people pushing and shoving.<br /><br />Stay being a country mouse Jill and I think it is just a London thing. I have been to Edinburgh and Dublin many times and people don't behave like that there.<br /><br />Shame you didn't get the house - mind boggling that it went for that amount with all the work that will need doing. So are you going to continue to be builder's mate for the new project?KraftyKarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12414480551327007813noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793112591217120497.post-30780110630207856422009-09-23T23:57:25.271+01:002009-09-23T23:57:25.271+01:00I don't miss commuting either, I only did it f...I don't miss commuting either, I only did it for four years and that was more than enough!

But it would have been so convenient. <br />I agree with you London is horrendous, especially on the tube. Its everyone for theselves and to hell with anyone who gets in their way. Life is much more hectic there - you really notice the difference when you have occasion to go up to town. We're much better off down here!<br />Hope you find something not too pricey. xlizhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03499504627638426246noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8793112591217120497.post-61094329845145552732009-09-23T15:52:53.296+01:002009-09-23T15:52:53.296+01:00I hate London but that's horrible.
