I cant speak for the Daddy, but I am pretty sure he feels the sam as I do. There might have been people affected by drunks on the tube, but the majority of people who drink on the tube do not cause trouble. In fact tube workers, and memebers of British Transport police (I have a family friend who is one) have said to me that they do not think that a ban of drinking on the tube is a good idea, and its very difficult to police. Drinking on the tube is not a problem that warrants a blanket ban, especially when its not being implemented on other forms of public transport. I bet if you could get a drinks trolley onto the tube easily it wouldnt be banned.
I do find it strange that someone who doesnt live in London, doesnt use the tube every day, doesnt work on the tube, can feel that he is more qualified in this argument then those that use and work on the tube every single day.
