Oh no, what a nightmare

Mobile phone coverage on the tube? What a nightmare. The last sanctuary, safe from the terrors of the 'personalised ringtone' soon to be gone forever. Are the tube bosses crazy? Imagine the rush hour commute with workers already packed in like sardines now locked in scrummage as they try to dig into bags and pockets to answer those 'critical' calls. Already trapped by the hellish tinny 'tsk ticka, tsk ticka' sounds drumming from headphones the commuter must now also be subjected to loud conversations as people struggle to make themselves heard on their phones over the din of the carriages.

I thought the idea was to encourage more people to use public transport? Blessed be the motor car.
