Tube Chat
It's been said that there's "no such thing as bad publicity". However what may have started as a well-meaning gesture has London travellers raging today as they are invited to enter into conversation with a stranger in that most hallowed of spaces - the Underground.
Time Out rate 'Don't Talk To Strangers' at no. 5 in their Guide to Tube Etiquette and even making eye contact is thought to be a step too far if you want to be a good commuter. However, whoever is behind the initiative, may have the last laugh. After all, there's nothing like a common enemy for uniting people in the most unlikely of conversations.
