This morning the entire mass of everyone ever in the world descended on the London transport system for the Annual Back to Work After Christmas and the New Year Day 2014.
Apparently around the UK, this day is also known as “Blue Monday”.
But if you live in London you’ll be familiar with it as “the day everything always breaks all at once.”

However, ALL IS NOT LOST.
You don’t have to let Blue Monday win. We could all follow the example of this man, who was spotted capitalising on the unusually high amount of commuters on the streets by holding a placard with his requirements on it, and attempting to find a girlfriend.

Bravo that man.
