Mind the Gap, Bitch.

By Al - February 5th, 2012 Transportation

Those of you who have been following me on Twitter for the last three years will know that my relationship with London's public transportation system is tentative at best. It's like a marriage that's gone stale. It's not fun anymore. It's far from sexy. We try to avoid each other ...
