A tale of the London Underground from back in the day – 10 years back in the day, in fact – that is still delighting people today.

It was first shared by @jamieklingler who said: ‘This is the best thing I’ve seen on FB in a long time’ and it’s fair to say it’s been featured by us once or twice since then.

Boom!
