    Is there any large city where people would have responded? I don’t think anyone would clap in NYC, because people who ask you to do things in public are usually mentally ill, want your money, or both, and so the normal thing to do is to pretend they don’t exist.

      I think the Subway in Glasgow would have a moderate chance of at least some people clapping.

    Londoners hate kids, apparently. Either that, or life there is so dreary and gloomy they couldn’t be bothered.

        “Kids should be scrabbling up chimneys and handling fine machinery, not being seen or heard!”

        ~ GB News, probably.

    That’s absolutelly, 100%, traditional London Tube.

    It would probably have worked just fine Friday evening down at the pub but then again the kid wouldn’t be allowed in.
