Three years ago I was in London. You know how if you're at a campfire and blow your nose you get some ash out of your nose? Well, it was like that. Certainly breathable, even for a person with asthma like myself, but that part was seriously gross.
Yeah, that's from all the crap kicked up by the trains on the Underground
Thank you! I wondered at the time. Seems to me like a reasonable tradeoff to have actual public transportation, which is a pipe dream in the US.
