60,000 copies of a song titled 'London Underground', taking the tune of The Jam's 'Going Underground', have been downloaded by people willing to buy filth in aid of Macmillan Cancer Relief.

It is the project of Adam Kay, 24, a junior doctor,and his friend Suman Biswas, a 26 year old anaesthetist, and part of a cd, 'Fitness to Practice', the proceeds of which go to the aforementioned charity.

'Today I gotta take my bike
Cos once again the tube's on strike
The greedy bastards want extra pay
For sitting on their arse all day
Even though they earn 30k'

So it's class warfare! The middle classes have had enough of these upstart thicko train drivers who do nothing but sit down all day when they should be up and down the carriages serving refreshments to the hard done by commuters who are transported to and from work in little better than cattle trucks. Christ, I bet those greedy lazy sods spend their time at work watching dvd's, they hardly need to keep their eyes on the tracks, everything being automatic nowadays after all. Noone shovelling coal like the good old working men of yore.

I'm reminded of a woman I sat next to on the train one morning a few months ago, moaning on her mobile phone in a loud voice about how she was kept waiting on a cold platform for 20 minutes just because some lazy train driver couldn't be bothered to get out of bed and her train was cancelled.

Or maybe, just maybe he or she was ill, you daft bint. You know, ill, unable to safely drive your train, unable to guarantee you'll still be alive by the time you should be in work, brain not functioning as it should, a bit slow, a bit like your normal state of mind.

Don't listen to the whingers. Most commuting is a piece of piss.
