RUSH-HOUR CRUSH

hundreds of dogs and cats that are in kennels throughout this country.

To those who defend foreign secretary Dominic Raab for being on holiday while the Taliban retook Afghanista­n, it’s true no one should have to work 24/7. But don’t forget these people have chosen their career and know the responsibi­lities. If the situation calls for it, they have to literally drop everything.

If the saying is true that the Battle of Waterloo was won on the playing fields of Eton, it would appear Britain was lost on those same fields.

It’s going to take more than Covid to see off love (and lust) – as shown by these messages from commuter cupids. Are they talking about you?

You’ve hair like a Tango Ice Blast and make-up like a psychedeli­c goddess. You dropped a book and our hands touched picking it up. Drink?

Matthew, via email

To the kind, beautiful woman with her blonde friend who shared her snacks as we sang nursery rhymes with our children. It was on the York line from Manchester at around 10am on Monday. You may not be single, you may not see this. If you are and you do, I have not stopped thinking about you.

Guy With Glasses And Grey Top

To the young blonde lady who was with three friends on her way to Clapham Common. How about coffee?

Black Guy With Locks

To the beautiful dark-haired girl with the elephant plant and facial piercing who was passionate about plants. It was Saturday, on the train back from Brighton to London Bridge. I got off at Burgess Hill. Your passion for plants has made an impression on me. Hopefully you see this and we can go check out some plants together.

Jordan The Plant Parent

To the smart, silver/grey-haired lovely man collecting your black car as we both got off at Crowhurst station at about 2.30pm on Tuesday last week. It was so kind of you to offer me a lift ‘somewhere’. I so wish I had not been busy…

Lady In White Dress And Turquoise Scarf

To the Asian/Indian-looking girl with gorgeous eyes and a Tesco bag. I’m glad you took your mask off. It was on the Piccadilly line between Hounslow and Hammersmit­h. We had five seconds of eye contact and you smiled at me. I wish you could have seen me smile back under my mask! Coffee instead of the Monster you were drinking?

Guy With The Black Hoodie And

Headphones Reading A Book

To the handsome driver of the No.277 bus, with the cute smile and nice beard at Hackney Central last Wednesday. It’s a long shot but I thought you might read Metro. When your bus drew in and you opened the doors, our eyes met. I normally avoid eye contact at all costs but I couldn’t help looking back up a couple times – and, when I looked up again, you gave me one sexy grin. I knew I’d be too shy to say anything and that your bus would have to leave but I gave a wave that you returned. Maybe you would like to meet and have an actual conversati­on this time.

The Shy Girl Dressed Up Waiting At The Bus Stop

You were the stunning white guy with the blond hair in a white singlet and black Adidas tracksuit in Westfield, Stratford, on Wednesday last week. I wanted to say hi but I was with my mates. Drink sometime?
