00:00I don't know, it's all just a bit sweaty, it's a bit close.
00:02Just don't take your shirt off.
00:04You must have as little on as possible.
00:06The hot ones do give you quite a nice, like, glow after you come off them,
00:08to be honest, so make the most of the, like, post-tube glow.
00:14Northern line, I detest.
00:16There's something about it that makes me just kind of feel like
00:18I'm about to bump into someone from uni.
00:20Do you know what? The central line is the one I probably hate the most.
00:23It's always crowded and it's always hot.
00:26Central line.
00:27I absolutely hate it.
00:30It's so noisy, I've actually had to buy my children ear defenders.

00:42And also, it's confusing.
00:43Like, sort that out.
00:44Oh, definitely the Bakerloo line.
00:46It doesn't really go anywhere.
00:49That little tiny one that just goes between Waterloo and the city.
00:53It's just pointless, just walk.
00:54Southwest London, in general, is just the worst,
00:57and you've probably got a better chance of getting a ticket to see Taylor Swift
01:01than getting a space on that tube.
