Other times London Underground came up
I love that back in the day, the London sewers, I read the story about a guy called John Hollingshead who wanted to visit one. He was a journalist, and this was in 1862. Apparently there was this thing where he was given basically a menu of the experiences that you could have at various bits of the sewerage in the London Underground because of what was going on above it.

It was 11 a.m. to 1pm, roughly. This is a thing that has existed for a very long time. The London Underground, very old, the first line opened in 1863, just to put in context, nine days before that, Abraham Lincoln signed the Emancipation Proclamation in America to do with... Just to put it in context of how old this is. Interestingly, though, Dan, I know how old the London Underground is better than I know when the proclamation was signed.
