The locals have a subject at school called:
getting around London.
The locals learn how to find a machine that works, use it correctly and buy the right ticket. It must take them years to master this.
The locals also know the question, “Where is the closest public toilet?” is a trick question.

The locals also know the question, “Where is the closest public toilet?” is a trick question.
It is a trick question because the correct answer is “There are no public toilets.”
They also learn when you give instructions only one thing matters.
Being friendly. Being understood or right is irrelevant.
Finding a local willing to help is easy. Arriving where you want to go is a bit more difficult.
