London male commuters are hot (according to China) Mar 4, 2015 12:32:57 GMT

The BBC News reports that Tubecrush.net, a UK site set up by four friends so that people can submit secretly taken photos of people on the tube, apparently receives a significant amount of traffic from China. This is because British men are considered to be "true gentlemen".

Regardless of the Chinese element of this story, the idea of the site seems a bit creepy to me. Taking illicit photos of random people on the tube and posting them online? Oy. I know it's legal to take photos of people in public places - but does that extend to the tube?

I suppose if you could manage to prove in court that the tube isn't a public place you may have some mileage there!

Kept you waiting there too long, my love

No air-conditioning on the deep level tubes still. It's all part of summer in the city.
