Last month we mentioned that London was electing a new mayor. Well, the guy we didn’t pick came into power. First on the agenda, ban drinking on the tube. The ban kicked in on June 1st. Saturday May 31st, there was one hell of a goodbye cocktail party on the circle line. I went to a bit of it, just to see. Yup, as suspected lots of drunk and rowdy’s what the Brits would call ASB, anti-social behaviour. 17 arrests later the party was a sloppy mess.
How’s that ban working out? I get on the tube just now, 5 days into the ban, to see a fat chav downing a heineken beer can out of a paper bag. Nice. So basically we’ve just hidden it.
