If you like this you'll LURVE One Stop Short of Barking, THE fun and informative BOOK about travelling on the London Underground.
1) Willingness to take trousers off on the Tube
2) Ablility to keep a straight face about it
Full details are on the Facebook page
but in a nutshell the plan is to turn up at an allocated spot in China town at 3pm
where you will be divided into groups. The aim is to then travel from Leicester Square Tube and go around another seven zone one stops as
nonchalantly & casually as possible with no trousers on.
As Rammi one of the organisers says "You can wear fun underwear if you like, but nothing that screams out, “I wore this because I’m doing a silly stunt.”
Wear two pairs of underwear if it makes you feel more comfortable.
Don’t wear a thong or anything else that might offend people. Our aim is
to make people laugh, not piss them off
We want this event to be fun and safe for everyone, so anybody found to
be removing more than their trousers will be kicked off the train and
reported to the British Transport Police and station authorities. ."
Even if you're not brave enough to take part, the organisers
are welcoming people who want to take pictures or blog about the
event. If that's you, contact Rammi or any of the organisers listed at TheStiffUpperLipSociety
"The magic, mystery & sometimes maddening shortcomings of London's Tube are documented with love, enthusiasm & sometimes despair by its unofficial social historian." The Guardian
