London life no.1

Oooh, a new thread! well, just a mild niggle that I've been thinking about for a long time now, which is ironic as it's about time itself - or the liquid nature of the stuff at the hands of London Underground. How many times have you stood on a platform while the electronic message board informs you that your train will arrive in '1 min'? And how many times have you thought 'hold on, this is one LONG motherf***ing minute'?
Loads, I bet. Time, it appears, is a relative concept in the hands of Johnny Tube.
I'm thinking of actually timing these things just to see if I'm right...
