mushroom is braver, or less shy,than I am. I've almost never started a conversation with a stranger on the underground; it's not a common occurrence in London, but if it does happen, it'll start with the weather :)

On a related topic,the humorist, Gerard Hoffnung, once suggested a few things for tourists to try: "Have you tried the famous echo in the Reading Room of the British Museum?", "When entering a bus, it is customary to shake hands with all the passengers" and that a building with a blue light outside is a brothel (It's a police station) were among them. All these are to be avoided.

An alternative is that all sentences should begin with and contain every few words the word 'like'

regarding gerard hoffnung's tourist rules, victor lewis-smith invented a few new ones; if you can vault over the automatic barriers, you're entitled to free travel on the tube - and there was one involving a helium-filled inflatable lady and the last night of the proms........
