Tube 'too hot for cattle'

According to today's Evening Standard, the London Underground is currently "too hot for cattle":

Evening Standard billboard

That's a shame, because cows love travelling on the Tube.

Incidentally, a couple of the broadsheets ran a similar story back in 2002. At least The Guardian took the unusual approach of putting commuters in a cattle truck.

I'd still rather see cows on the Tube, though.

Here's a snap I took a couple of months back of a billboard near my office:

The web address on the billboard advert reads www.kateatkinson.co.uk, with the 'atkinson' in bold

This advert's interesting because of the subtle use of bold in the web address. It's easy to separate www.kateatkinson.co.uk into its component parts:

www
kate
atkinson
co
uk

With www.kateatkinson.co.uk (the unbolded version), the task is much harder and a reader may well come up with (for example):

www
kat
eat
kinson
co
uk


(Kate Atkinson is an English novelist; I think this advert was promoting her latest novel, When Will There be Good News?.)
