Farringdon - Clearly trying very hard not to be rude

The guys and gals and Farringdon Tube station must have clearly taken to heart the reports that they were the "rudest station on the London Underground".

I've recently started a new job and have a variety of ways of getting in and out now. One of them is Farringdon and on Friday night, after a few after-work bevvies, three of us went back to Farringdon Tube station. I spotted the following in the entrance:


It says: "We have a shiny new ticket machine here at Farringdon. Please feel free to use it. You'll find it has all the features of its larger cousin. But please remember, Exact Money Only."

What can I say? It's such an example of niceness and just makes you feel like cuddling them.

I'll keep an eye out for future messages! Plus any work mates, who use this station more regularly than me, can you keep an eye out too? Ta!
