"Cabin bag with wheels" (Wankers!)

London is a big place, but I think it still has some kind of a sense of community. This is mainly driven by the Metro newspaper (the free morning paper that is available in tube stops). Basically people get to rant about things in the letters pages and any interesting thing happening in London or to Londoners will normally appear in its pages sooner or later. For example, anything that Londoners hate or anything they particularly like will be mentioned in the people at some point.

But I want to mention something that I don't think has had a mention yet, although I think it's only a matter of time. Basically, I'm getting more and more pissed off with people (mainly women) who pull those shitty little cases behind them (they stop at the top of the stairs, collapse the handle, carry it down the stairs, stop, expand the handle, pull behind them, stop at the top of the stairs etc etc). When you're on the tube (or more importantly, changing lines) there is quite often a lot of people around. Walking amongst these people is hard enough most of the time, let alone with having to look at the floor every two minutes to make sure you're not going to fall over one of these little things. Now, I know that people in London like to think of themselves as 'jet setters' but I seriously doubt this many people actually travel all of the time - if they do, who the hell is actually working in London!

(I'll be trying to get a picture of someone doing this over the next few days, but don't hold your breath!)

I blame Samsonite, shitheads!

Have no idea what I'm talking about...see here:
