'I've even seen people faint, either from the heat or the stink of sweaty bodies'

You've seen someone faint due to someone else's sweat? Yeah, right. Not sure about you Sean, but most of us in London have a pretty close relationship with soap and water, so that's maybe why in 40 years of commuting I've never seen anyone faint due to the stench of someone else's sweat.

Jan Moir's column in the Daily Mail might be going free soon. She got by with filling it by making stuff up that sounded good, maybe you could carry the torch when she's booted out?

Nick,

You're a rarity--an Englishman with no appreciation of sardonic humor. You almost sound American. Yes, I have seen people faint on hot summer days on the Tube, but the stink comment was obviously a joke. Although you have to admit it can get pretty ripe. Soap and water only go so far in the sweatbox that is the Tube during a heatwave.
