Tube Etiquette: essential for the Olympics according to The Evening Standard

It's nice to see the Evening Standard picking up on and endorsing The Little Book of Tube Etiquette with Richard Godwin saying the following on thisislondon.co.uk:

Speaking of the Underground, I'd recommended a quick butcher's at The Little Book Of Tube Etiquette by Laura King (Gibson Publishing).

In fact, it should be compulsory reading for all commuters. “Don't eat on the Tube: that's disgusting — have you no shame?”, begins one winning entry. “If you are massively overweight, please do not sit down.” Hear, hear! “Don't talk to strangers. Londoners are rude — just deal with it.” Can we put that on a series of posters, in time for the Olympics?

I think Richard's got the right idea - we should have a series of special posters with tube etiquette on for the Olympics.

After all, the London Underground will be inundated with extra travellers during the summer of 2012 and most of these will clearly have no idea about how to behave.

Perhaps that should be my next project...
