Only in London

I was on the Bakerloo line the other evening, just outside Baker Street, when I saw a gentleman wearing a fabulous pyramid wire headgear. Perfectly at ease with himself, a full carriage of fellow travelers happily accepted this as normal behavior and continued their usual tube-eye-avoidance routine in silence. A quick search showed that the gentleman, Dominic, has been travelling the lines like this since 2006.

Only in (gloriously tolerant) London.

Did you ever see the tiny Nun all dressed in white carrying a 50cm Perspex cross usually on the Northern Line around Clapham/Vauxhall she had the most peaceful smile.

Unfortunately not: although everything is that much calmer and less urgent south of the river so that may in part explain the peaceful smile : )

Formatting Help

Don't worry about formatting, just type in the text and we'll take care of making sense of it. We will auto-convert links, and if you put asterisks around words we will make them bold.

Tips:

Create headers by underlining text with ==== or ----

To *italicise* text put one asterisk each side of the word

To **bold** text put two asterisks each side of the word

Embed images by entering:

That's the hard one: exclamation, square brackets and then the URL to the image in brackets.

* Create lists by starting lines with asterisks

1. Create numbered lists by starting lines with a number and a dot

For syntax highlighting, surround the code block with three backticks:

Just like Github, a blank line must precede a code block.
