Perhaps you missed the point that an odour won't give you a black eye, or push someone under a train? Or was that something you hoped I wouldn't mention?

Err I am calling you a hypocrite because your post suggests that if you cant smell it its not a problem, in that I should be grateful i can smell. At no time am I calling you a hypocrite because you cant smell. Do you notice the subtle difference?

I tell you what Xaccers, since you want the last word, here it is....

YOU ARE RIGHT. YOU HAVE WON THIS ARGUMENT, YOU KNOW MORE THAN ANYONE ELSE IN THIS THREAD AND MAYBE THE ENTIRE FORUM....

WE ARE NOT WORTHY

ALL HAIL XACCERS ... KING OF FORCING HIS POINT ACROSS TILL EVERYONE JUST GIVES UP........

So you deliberately ignored the points that an odour won't beat you up or knock you under a train just so you could call me a hypocrite.
Sounds like you're the one who was having an argument.

I suggest you both find something else to do, because if you keep arguing in this thread you'll both end up getting infraction points.

Never mind eh? It's only one case, from someone who doesn't use the tube that often, and doesn't live in London, so it doesn't matter does it? Obviously I was wrong in thinking that the tube was a transportation system and not a public house. You've not seen any problems so there isn't a problem :rolleyes:

I'd have thought being a victim you'd want to avoid putting people in situations of confrontation but it seems you are quite happy for underground staff to try and enforce this hair brained law regardless of the fact they aren't trained for it and in a lot of cases are women or quite old men, needless situations of confrontation will arise from this, that in normal past circumstances would passed without incident.

Moving on to the problems that 'we don't see' how do you expect them to enforce the ban, search every one. What about on match days, would you want to tell 3000 Leeds fans to stop drinking at the station? New year should be interesting to, are you going to tell the 250 000 people in Trafalgar square they can't get on the free tube sponsored by Fosters incidentally IIRC because they are a bit worse for wear?

We could breathalyse everyone getting onto the tube, lunchtimes in the city should be fun.
