    A photo of me drinking from a can of M&S mojito on the Overground has been circulated. I'm sincerely sorry for drinking on TFL.

        You guys... 🤣 Personally, I don't find it a problem when it's Diane have a sneaky mojito on the Tube. However, I was a guard on the Northern Line sometime ago and I can honestly say that having to turf drunks off the last train was one of the worst and scariest parts of the job.

        *Overground. That said, we all make mistakes. (Although, as a diabetic, if your blood sugar was low and you had nothing else to hand, a M&S mojito would be classed as medicinal and not in breach of TfL policy. 😉)

        I've literally just got home from a train journey made bearable only by not one but two of M&S bizarrely colourful canned cocktails. I rarely see eye to eye with Ms A but I'll not have her shamed for this sort of bollocks.

        The policy is there to protect staff who end up having to deal with drunk, abusive passengers. We all know Diane wouldn't abuse transport staff, but every day bus and rail workers face verbal and physical assaults from drunks up and down the country. The few ruin it for the many.
