Does anyone have any high contacts within London Transport? We need to rent a tube and need a price on this.

[Marufoo]

Hello, I am a mediatior for a affluent and powerful arab family who want to rent a tube train for a few hours when they arrive in may, does anyone know whether this can be arranged? It will be for a party for 500 people and for 3 hours and they are willing to rent this after the tube has stopped when the tube line has shut and will pay a very big handsome wage to any station attendants, the tube driver and everyone else involved although they will have their own security team with them. as well as very large donations to charities of london transports choice.
The obvious route would be to ask lt themselves but my secretary thought that asking here may be a better idea considering that someone may have a friend or relative who could help. The conditions would be that 1-They will be serving alcohol and food. 2- That a team from saudi would be able to decorate the tube with their own decor prior to the family embarking on their journey. 3-No camera's allowed to photograph or video them. 4-A legal waiver signed by all involved not to talk to the media in any way shape or form about the family in question and their party of friends and relatives. 5-The tubes windows will be temporarily blackened out to allow privacy. 6-The tube must me brand new, clean and preferably the Jubilee line, but this can be negotiated.
My people need an answer by 4pm today so please any help will be welcome.
Thank you for your help.
Mr Marufoo.

I presume there is a yard at either end, sandy, and that you rent it by the metre?

A 747 magically became available. Is that a fertility symbol too? Maybe fatima is not that fussed. I understand a 747 seats 416, so will the other 84 people stand in the aisles?

And wait their turn, ^

Damn! Has he gone? I`ve just managed to get London Transport to agree to my setting up a charity for homeless boob tubes. Was hoping for a big contribution.

[DTCwordfan]

You could hold the D cups out, gness, and see what you get in terms of coins and notes for charity from passing folk.....

[gness]

Plenty of room for coins and notes if I held out a D cup DT. Sadly.

gness, judging by the thread about bras the other day, there would probably be some massive boob tubes available from AB ladies

[gness]

I was green on that thread Kiki. We need a name for this charity.

The Tube as an aid to fertility? Bis shelters are much cheaper and work like magic in Burnley.

What's a Bis Shelter.?.... Typo error perhaps and you hit a B instead of P.!!

Dear Mr Marufoo,

Initially I thought that your enquiry was, as we say in South Wales, "mae ei weindio".( a wind-up) However, you have appeared to be sincere in matters and it is unfortunate that, yourself being a new member of Answerbank, there have been a number of unhelpful respondents to your question.

Personally, I don't think there is anyone in AB who will really appreciate the 15years of feelings that Fatima has had and, whilst being from a wealthy family, it could be said that she has suffered a series of hard times. Nevertheless, at last things have come the way she desired.

Should you still wish to have an underground Arabian Night, I put forward the thought of utilizing one of the many disused Coal Mines which we have in South Wales. A number of which still have rail transport facilities.

Mr Marufoo and his secretary, plus the ex PM, Head of LT buses, Fatima and her fertility symbols and the Jumbo jet have added a bit of fun to Friday.

I've enjoyed all this. Thanks everyone.

Tilly.....I did have another thought of Mr Marufoo hiring a train at night time from Paddington to Swansea. There would certainly be an underground experience of going through the Severn Tunnel.

However, bearing in mind Fatima's condition, I was thinking along similar lines to your earlier posting on page3 and considered it inappropriate.

We have lots of ex-prime ministers, which one did you have in mind? Don't trust any whose name begins with the letter B.
