I have just missed a southbound Victoria line train! The next train arrived five minutes later and in the meanwhile the platform steadily became full. I was joined by a tube buddy and we exchanged pleaseantries
"Are you all set for xmas?"
"Not quite, I've yet to buy presents"
"Mine's nearly completed"
And so on.......and so on until the train arrived and we were soon parted by the sea of commuters both disembarking and embarking. Standing room only until Warren Street station where I managed to bag a seat.
"The train will remain at this station for a few minutes due to Blah! Blah! Blah!"
"Appologies for the delay  Blah! Blah! Blah!"
Then a sudden surge of commuters being pushed towards the long aisle
"Can you move along?"
Blank faces.......
" Stop f****** pushing!"
"Stop swearing please!"
More pushing between the two culprits........more explitives from the (gentle)man and all the while the other commuters looked away (myself included)
Adults behaving badly eh!!
Victoria station didn't come soon enough!
