Apparently it is illegal to take pictures in the London Underground. Oops. I guess video footage isn’t cool either… I swears I didn’t know. Peace loving Canadian here. I love England. Hooray for the Queen and drizzly grey days and darkness that sets in shortly after tea time and Top Gear and access to the iPhone and crisps and breakfasts that come with baked beans…

Top Gear ftw! Ahem, yes. Likes the photo. Last time I tried to take one I got a tap on the shoulder from pc plod.

Whaaaat? Why is it illegal to take pictures?
That’s a really cool shot though.

oh whoa.. oopsie. I did exactly the same thing. Well, the picture is worth the potential finage/jailtime/tolchock from an officer. The london underground is toooooo picturesque (for an underground) for picture taking to be made illegal!!
*pumps fist in the air* power to the photogs!!

@Graham — Top Gear is totally booyah. Also loved Gordon Ramsay’s Nightmare Kitchens. So ace that BBC 1&2 have no commercials and they allow Ramsay to swear like a hot damn.
@Rika — oh yes. very illegal without a permit and it is very pricey to obtain a permit.
@Mel — totally worth it. *power to the people*
@RBeezy — yikes. wow. serious? yiiiiiiikes.

Whoops, I spent a whole day taking pictures of the underground for a pitch. I guess I was lucky there was no PC around…

Wait a second. You don’t have baked beans with breakfasts in Canada/America? (Perhaps I could understand Canada, were it not ajoining) Does that mean you have no English breakfasts at all? Bacon? Sausage? Egg? Hash browns? Mushrooms? Fried bread?
How do you get through the day?

@Marcus — as a mostly British Canadian i grew up on English breakfasts. but i must admit to being much to lazy to cook such extravagance now. and if i do cook a breakfast i often lean towards pancakes with blueberries on top. mmm.
