Londoners with kids NEVER say…

  • We’ll be fine getting on the tube at 6pm, I’m sure if we shove the buggy (stroller) hard enough people will move along and make space.

  • I won’t bother checking whether there is any engineering work on the tube / train this weekend, it’ll be OK travelling on the rail replacement buses.

  • It’s really sunny, I won’t bother taking the raincover for the buggy.

  • It’s really rainy, I won’t bother taking the suncover for the buggy.

  • I’m sure this museum will have a cafe which isn’t horrendously expensive and offers food that both my children will eat.

  • I think it would be better to drive - there must be somewhere to park near [anywhere in zone 1].

… or if they do then they regret it afterwards.
