Hello and welcome to another episode of No Such Thing as a Fish,
a weekly podcast coming to you from the QI offices in Covent Garden.
My name is Dan Schreiber and I am sitting here with James Horroken,
Andrew Hunter Murray and Anna Chazinski and once again we have gathered around the microphones with our four favorite facts from the last seven days and in no particular order here we go.
Starting this week with my fact,
my fact this week is that at rush hour there are more people under the ground in London than there are above the ground in Edinburgh.
Wow.
That's great.
No.
And you don't mean dead people do you?
No I don't.
I mean rush hour, I mean the London Underground system.
There are more people on trains below the ground than there are people in total every day.
Actually you might have underestimated that because did you count people living in basement flats?
No I didn't.
You didn't?
I bet there are even more, more people.
What about dead people?
That's a poll.
We can't go there.
