Urban bingo - 1

A game I occassionally like to play is tube station bingo.

As I take the escalator down to the Victoria Line I cross off all the adverts for things I don't want. If I can get a line all the way down I win.

It's quite easy to win.

Idiot Britain - 2

So tonight on the tube I was one of ten people in my twelve seat section. I was the only one reading a book.

On the thirty minute journey many people got on and got off. One of them was reading a book.

Idiot Britain - 1

On the tube home tonight, I'd just finished the chapter of the book I'm reading. I stopped and glanced around the carriage. This was when I noticed something scary. There were twelve seats in my section, of which eight seats were filled. Of those eight people, I was the only one reading a book.

Two were reading something from work.
One was listening to his music player.
One was playing with his mobile phone.
One was eating takeaway food.
One was asleep.
One was staring into space.

I am worried.
