I’ve used the London Underground to commute to work for seven years and have encountered the most weird, wonderful and, at times, frustrating people.
On a rainy evening, having just experienced rush hour in full flow, I went to meet my girlfriends for drinks and quickly we settled into a conversation about all of our irritations about the tube and the people that use it. That turned out to be one of the most hilarious, wine-filled catch ups in recent years and provided the inspiration for The Little Book Of Tube Etiquette.
Each ‘rule’ has a story or experience behindit and the more I’ve been writing, the more I notice the weird behaviour of our Tube’s users. This book isn’t meant to be serious, rather a lighthearted attempt to poke fun at the irritations of our daily commute.

You can buy a copy at http://www.gibsonpublishing.co.uk/ for £8.99 + £1.95 p&p or keep a track of this blog to find out what I've included as 'etiquette'!
If you have any new ideas, by all means share and discuss them here. I had so many I had to leave about 50% of them out!
I guarantee that once you’ve read it, you’ll never travel to work without noticing the rule-breaks again.
Enjoy!
