Last orders on the Tube
Boris Johnson in his wisdom has banned drinking on public transport.
Now I don’t really think that drinking on the Tube is a great British tradition, or a freedom very greatly worth defending.
But I’m still glad someone saw the opportunity for a little protest. All the more since they made it into a party.
Saturday May 31st is the last day you’ll be able to drink on the Tube. And that’s when the Final Circle Line Party will be held – from 9pm, in the last tube of the train leaving Liverpool Street clockwise.
Sounds like a really good excuse for a knees-up. And that *is* a great British tradition.

Is that ban on drinking cocktails or any beverage (morning tea, coffee, etc.)?
Only alcoholic beverages, apparently – but if you have a thermos full of tea, I bet some self-appointed so and so will want to sniff it to make sure there’s no alcohol in it.
Kind of takes the fun out of hitting the pubs and riding the Tube home…if you can’t bring along a “to-go” cup…
[...] The last night of legal drinking on the Tube started yesterday as a fun cocktail party. If you kicked of the night at 6 or 7 o’clock and had half an hour’s fun, you did well. [...]
