Don't appreciate London and decry it in absence of any experience (London is the best city on the Planet)
I'll go along with that ... even as a fully paid up member of the Flat Cap and Whippet Brigade, hence my constant badgering the Deskie for a posting there. He must be suspicious of my motives as it has never come up yet. Alternatively, he probably (rightly) fears a diplomatic incident.
But in SAMXXV's defence, my own personal experience is that I have never managed to get to any where on time if it involves the Circle Line, so I guess if he was coming in from the Hammersmith extension, then it could well have taken a couple of hours. Either that or he just nodded off in his dotage and got a couple of laps of the Circle Line in before work
