I’ve lived in London for 15 years and I’ve never experienced that. I suspect it’s something of an urban myth.
- te_chris 7y agoHappens to me! It's mostly the tube I think though - airborne brake residue etc, is what I've been told.
- ptr 7y agoMe too, in the tube – definitely not a myth. A friend even got his white dress shirt ruined by the stuff.
- tomatocracy 7y agoThat’s credible - it could be quite localised on the tube to certain stations or lines if that is the case - I’ve noticed that I get black marks all over my hands occasionally from the escalator handrail in some stations but it’s only a small minority of the ones I’ve been to.
- swebs 7y agoDamn, how much would it cost to just run some air filters down there?
- mikestew 7y ago'merican here with normal snot; when I'm doing stuff (house fixy stuff) that turns my mucous colors, it's my sign that I need to go grab a dust mask. Is this not really a concern down there in the underground because $REASONS, or one of those "umm, never thought about it, but now that you mention it..." things?
- te_chris 7y agoIt's more: this is how we have to get to work so go back to your book :D
