Heatwave strikes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

This week has been the HOTTEST week I can remember in London!!

If you have experienced travelling on the tube during the summer months the following may sound familiar:

a) You feel hot and sticky. You come out of the tube as if you have just done a gym workout

b) Getting blisters on your feet from wearing- " those shoes and sandals"

c) Annoyed at the person who obstructs the window at the end of the carriage. He/she blocks any air flowing into the tube.

d) Instead of using the Metro/magazine as a fan don't you think the Underground staff should give us all free mini portable fans instead??!!

e) There should be a ban for guys to travel on the tube without a shirt/t-shirt unless u are a Brad Pitt lookalike. There is no need for you to show off your beer belly..thank you very much!!

London Underground is one of the oldest networks in the world yet Mayor Livingstone & the Underground still have not figured out a solution to this problem!

Yesterday, some tubes had reached temperatures as high as 46 degrees celsius!!

The remedy the Underground have suggested is to encourage people to take showers in the morning. It's shocking this is one of the few solutions they have come up with so far....

Asians are used to taking showers in the mornings anyway so I just find that comment hilarious!

Countries like Japan, Hong Kong and Malaysia have been able to install air conditioning sytem on their tubes so when is London implementing a similar system before we all suffer from extreme heat and dehydration on the tubes??!!!
