Caught on camera
But some commuters are also doing their own electronic reconnaissance.There are a growing number of websites and photo galleries dedicated to critiquing the appearance, dress and behaviour of fellow travellers.Adam Moger was travelling on the Northern line in South London one Sunday morning, when his photograph was secretly taken by someone using a mobile phone.It wasn't until three days later when his friends contacted him, that Mr Moger realised his image was now part of an online trend."We thought taking pictures of people on the tube in London would be best, because the underground has a certain sort of atmosphere."
His picture appeared on the website Tubecrush.net and a connected twitter account, and his looks and fashion sense were being rated online."I had no idea whatsoever - I was just sat on the tube minding my own business one Sunday morning after being out the night before," he said."A couple of days later my friends were phoning me up and emailing me - and laughing about my picture being online."Tubecrush.net invites commuters to send in pictures of strangers they find attractive or eye-catching. Subjects must be men travelling on the London underground.
The person having their photograph taken is normally unaware their image is online. "It was slightly strange at first, but then I was quite flattered," said Mr Moger."We always see people on the tube who we fancy. Then sometimes you wish you had taken a picture of them, but I don't think I'll be taking pictures of other people though!"Seven months ago Steve Motion, Gemma Dean, Andy Kaufman and Michael Sparrow were watching a dating quiz programme on television when they came up with the idea for the site.Mr Kaufman, the technical controller said: "We were watching women judging male contestants on the TV,This is a quick guide to fitting parquet flooring.Parquet is laid using a straight line drawn down the middle of the room as a guide. Lay a column of blocks either side of the line with the tongue of each block facing inwards. and thought it'd be funny if you could do that in real life."
