‘Anyone caught without a valid ticket will be told the end of the new Star Wars’: 23 signs that prove how funny London Underground staff are
Tube workers know how to put a smile on commuters' faces with their witty messages
NOBODY likes commuting. Especially when you're packed into overcrowded tubes, faced with delays and rising rail fares.
In fact, getting the tube every morning can be pretty depressing. It's bad enough that it's cold and dark outside, but getting onto the tube and being squashed up close enough to a complete stranger to be able to smell what they had for breakfast, (or finding out they decided to skip the shower), can put even the chirpiest commuter in a bad mood before they even get to the office.
But the clever people that work on the London Underground understand this, and they've come up with a brilliant way to put a smile on even the grumpiest of customer's faces.
When there's nothing serious to report, like delays or line closures, some clever tube station workers have turned their notice boards into beacons of hope; writing inspirational quotes and funny messages to put a smile on the face of passers by.
While some are messages from great philosophers and other questions are designed to make you ponder life's biggest questions, most of the notes are downright hilarious.
