the tube

The London Underground, the first such system in the world. Resembles (and smells like) a small train running in a sewer. Beloved of Ken Livingstone. Takes forever to get anywhere (if its running at all).

Londoner: "London's ace coz its got The Tube blah blah..."
Brummie: "Fuck that it takes half an hour to go a mile- I can go 120mph in my car..."

routemaster

Old-style bus as seen in London. Being withdrawn because idiots keep falling off the back and suing, but its not a bad thing coz they smoke like hell.

"Is the chip shop on fire or is the next bus a routemaster?"
