Smiling on the tube

UNITED KINGDOM | Tuesday, 10 July 2007 | Views [363] | Comments [1]

Londoners don't like to smile much. Especially when they are riding on the tube (the sub ground train system here in London). Favourite passtimes on the tube each day, between work and home, include reading trashy newspapers, listening to iPods and also sleeping - no matter what time of the day. No doubt most of these passtimes are also done with the typical London frown 'serious face' which is the done thing here in London.

So, I like to make a point of sending out at least one smile each journey on the tube. Whether its in the morning at 8am, sending a smile to a pinstripe suit reading the financial times; or at 6pm coming home sending a smile to the stressed out career girl who is trying to text message and catch up on the days gossip magazines.....

I like the random smile and I really enjoy getting one back. So if you're in London soon and you see a smiling Aussie on the tube, send one back!
