Don't get me wrong.......... There are many beautiful sights in London; theatres like 'The London Palladium, museums like the 'Science' museum, Big Ben, The 'London Eye' 'St Paul's Cathedral' to name of
It's some of the people in London I detest!
I detest;
Their rudeness!
Their selfishness!
Their lack of respect for each other!

I walk through the barrier, through the maddening morning crowd, up the steps and saw a train closing it's door and sped away
No sooner had I got to the top of the steps, another train arrives, opens and mocks me.......daring me to enter the PACKED carriage
F***! This is what my journey is going to be like every working day!
Not just working in London (which I can cope with) but LIVING in London!

08:00.......Left the house half an hour later then previous mornings
I took the same route but half way decided to try another shortcut route...........BIG MISTAKE!
I ended up adding an extra five, ten minutes to my journey
Finally sighting familiar surroundings I begin to walk briskly
Rows of 'special service' red buses going to 'athlete village'
Queues of Polish/Lithuanian/British labourers then finally Stratford station
I pass a man selling 'The Sun' newspaper
I pass s few 'Jehovah Witness' men and women handing out copies of the reading material......... I walk past looking directly in front of mr

18:13...........standing at the eastbound platform two of the Pivcadilly line at Covent Garden the train arrives JAM PACKED!
So I wait for the next train........PACKED!
I had no choice but to squeeze myself in and waited for the onslaught of heavy breathing, coughing, sneezing around me
I HATE THE TUBE!!!!
I HATE EAST LONDON!

07:35........Front door slammed behind me, front garden gate slammed behind me and my walking journey to Stratford station commences
I took all known shortcut, desperately avoiding Leytonstone Highh Road and it's alignment if black bags filled with yesterday's food empty boxes and the lingering stench that goes with it
There are four 'Athlete Village' 'Special' buses.........Some already filled with mostly Polish and Litvanian workers donning yellow jacket and hardtop hats........some running, some walking bit all talking in foreign Tongue

Now entering Stratford hub, 'touch in' my oyster card, through the barrier, up the steps and into the Central line platform heading towards Holborn station

Decided to walk to Stratford station this morning
It's certainly a different scenery to my previous one!
The pavement on Leytonstone High Street is peppered with litter and the invasion of black bags
As I got nearer to Stratford station I noticed a red 'Special' bus with 'Athlete Village' on the front
It was stationed a few yards away from the main hub to Stratford station and workmen both young and not so young were entering the 'Special' bus
They all sported the same attire; luminous yellow jacket and a hardtop helmet. As I passed them I heard them talking, mostly in a different language - I understand that the area has an influx of Lituanian and Polish people so my guess is.........the language I'm hearing is a choice of either of these

It seems that the '2012 Olympic' has generated a lot of work

I am now sat on a sixty nine bus to Walthamstow bus terminal
My destination today is Victoria station
I 'touched in' my oyster card for the very first time....... Now I am at Waltamstow underground station and 'touching I'm for the second time
I embark the waiting train and sit between a young woman engrosed in the 'Metro' newspaper and a 'hooded' sleeping man
The train is already semi full
Blackhorse Road station arrives bringing more Commutors
'I appologise for the delay but due to defective train and signals blah! blah! blah!
Here we go!
Tottenham Hale brings another announcement on the tannoy
'Blah! blah! blah!
'I don't give a f***!
next stop....... Seven Sisters
"The next station is Finsbury Park.........change here fir the Piccaddilly line and National Rail.........'
Highbury and Islington, then Kings Cross, then Euston, followed by Warren Strret. Oxford Circus, Green Park and
Finally Victoria station......... my stop!
