Finished “Frankie” by Graham Norton (yes, that Graham Norton!)
Frankie, elderly and recovering from an ankle injury, begins to tell the home care night nurse her life story while convalescing. We open as a child in Ireland, travel to London, settle in New York City, and eventually end up in London. And what a journey!
Really well done characters & dialogue. Norton is a really good writer, of which this skeptic was won over.

Content warning: #AskFedi, London Underground

A question for London folks, and people who often travel through there: if you had to go on the tube on a Saturday, what times of day would you predict would be least busy and most busy? And what would be the pattern for Sunday?
Just thinking about some future travel plans which involve crossing a bit of London - one end would be St Pancras - and for which I'll have some flexibility in when to set off.
(I imagine that "first thing in the morning" and "last thing at night" are among the least busy times, but in reality those are no good to me because of the other legs of the journey. So I'm mostly interested in the likely variations between, say, 9.00 and 20.00.)
Thanks for any info!
