"Here's a lovely pic of an info board on the London Underground this morning.
If you look carefully, the handwriting appears to show that the Tube worker who wrote the cheery Cam-is-PM message is different from the one who scribbled the Doomed joke.
A Transport for London spokesman has now put out this inimitably po-faced response:
"Our service information boards are in public areas of stations and are used to update our customers of service changes. This message has been removed, we are urgently investigating how it appeared, and apologise for it."
Rumours that Boris was the culprit have proved, er, unfounded.
Personally, I quite like it when Tube staff go a bit off-piste. The best of them announce England footie results or scribble Cup final scores on boards. It beats the robotic instructions telling us to walk carefully when it is raining or edicts from staff to "walk to the end of the platform and use the nearest exits".

I once spent the entire day travelling on the London underground network...should have been at school, but felt low and tired. I ended up in West Ruislip. That's long after the underground becomes the overground. I'm still haunted by the sound and smells of the tube. I think every town and even village should have an underground.
