        How do you survive the crush from inconsiderate travellers?

        I had a pretty nasty time today when my fellow commuters decided to ram the already busy carriage to the point I was physically wedged between bodies. Practically face to face with one, and felt like my leg was being humped by another. Do these people live in a phone box or something? People like that should just FOAD

        I'm getting tempted by one of those leather punk jackets from the 80's bristling with large metal spikes.
        This is probably the worst thing about working in London - The commute into and out of the office

        I generally like to get into work a little later and come back on teh train a little later as well. Trying to get into Bank station for 9AM as an example is the worst - If you can aim to arrive at 9:20 you stand a much better chance of having an empty carriage

              Its weird but I miss my kids when they are at school. I really do enjoy their company. Its really quite boring without them around. I enjoy answering their question about my work. My typical answer is "it's boring boring stuff. Daddy only does it to pay for things. I'd rather be on a beach".

              No way would I take being squashed in a vehicle with strange people underground over my kids...ever.
