Better to have a short term death of the soul than a long slow death attached to a ventilator and none of your loved ones beside you when you take your final breath.

What sort of conversation would you have with a stranger for three stops on a noisy train on the Northern Line? Especially when said stranger is getting off in 2.

You know what.....I would take my chances of talking to and being spoken to by somebody wearing a mask or even not wearing one....let's face everybody on that tube train is still breathing.
Furthermore, as per the pictures on BBC Breakfast of primary school kids being made to play in chalked off boxes and sit on distanced yellow crosses (Belgium), I would rather keep them at home!

They do not even get as far as acknowledging each others existence never mind a 2 stop conversation.....surely a carriageway wide rendition of 'We've Met Again ' would be a good starting point.

Why would anyone ever want to talk to anyone on the tube, let alone someone they don't know? Unless it's about 23:30 and everyone is pissed.

Hardly my skillset Bankster.

One time accountant, CFO, management consultant, teacher specialising in working in developing countries and fraud detection, who likes to cycle a bit and moan about the impending climate emergency and our lack of actions to address it...

It is suprisingly loud on the tube. Even if I'm travelling with people I know it's not an easy conversation spot.

and any conversation out of me before 9am is pretty limited! I'm ok with no talking on the tube in the morning.

To be fair to those people in the photo there’s probably a queue of beggars trying to get someone’s attention so that they can tell them their life story - obviously for money of course.

Those people are probably just trying to ignore them.
