I'm an artist/barmaid living in South East London, and I'm undertaking a project...

To find people who are Up For A Chat On The Tube!

Anyone who is up for a chat on the tube is entitled to wear an "I'm Up For A Chat On The Tube" badge. If people chat to someone on the tube, they pass on the badge and I send them another. So far it's onto 4-people-removed from myself, and there are over 200 badges out there... a lot, a little ripple, but to get people going we need a bit of a stir!

To get a badge (for £0, but 100% identification to the cause) people have to send an SAE to:
Hannah's Cafe, PO BOX 45362, London, SE14 5UG

There's a bit more info, and an image of a badge at http://www.hannahscafe.co.uk

Ah yes, I looked at your website when I saw you register, Hannah.

Looks interesting enough to me

Ahhh- I've just e-mailed you about this.

Goes to show I should check forums before my inbox..

ahhh - (thought id start with that seeing as the other 2 did hehe).

the only people ive talked to on the Tube are fellow football fans and hot women. Havent seen someone that is both yet though

ahhh, if you cant beat them then join them theory!
Yeah like Neil I checked out Hannah's website already through the memberlist......
Sounds good to me, are you about on Zone 1 challenge day Hannah?
See link "Zone 1: May 19th 2006"
Maybe you could bring some badges along and distribute amongst the challengers

The only people I've talked to (or rather, have talked to me) on the Tube, beside people I know, have been tramps and nutters, or both. One was convinced he knew Max Clifford.

This chat business sounds great, though!

Yep likewise
I met Jesus, apparently
He was very nice

I think there's an unwritten rule that you *can't* speak, and if you do you're the nutter.

A female friend of mine got head-butted on bus, with people all around, and no-one asked if she was okay!
This could act for and against the badges in a way, but the sworn silence in this example can only be a bad thing?

There seems to be a dehumanisation apparent that polite exchange could help remedy?

I don't know if these things written at the bottom are signatures or thoughts of the day.
Thought of the day, anyway: If Sikhs are exempt from wearing crash helmets, do they wear helmets when paint-balling?

no talk, more fear.
more talk, less fear.

makes sence but i dont see how we are going to get more people to talk.

So, as previously mentioned, are you coming to Zone 1 2006 this Friday? I'm sure you would get at couple of dozen takers. Sending an SAE is just so much hassle... but I'd love a badge! The silence of everyone else makes me feel strange talking, even when I have a friend on the train with me .

Which also reminds me of the absolutely worst aspect of GWR attempts - the signed witness reports from fellow passengers... I really had a hard time both in forcing myself into trying and then actually in getting any!

Stupid GWR rule!

No im not coming. I would like a badge. But do i have to wear all the time on the tube. Since i said im not coming i dont a badge anyway.

You can always get a badge by sending an SAE to Hannah, as outlined at the top of this thread.

A stamped addressed envelope! No i dont mind. I really want to come tto z1 just to meet you guys. But rain and time dont like the lime.

Good point - if Hannah comes to the Zone 1 Challenge thing (and I bet the First Time Club have never done THAT before), she can give out badges to everyone!

There should be enough of us there.

There seems to be a cross thread here, both Root and myself were asking Hannah if she was coming to zone 1 day, as I am sure we would all probably take a badge from her..........
