Since I started dating Pete, I frequent the Docklands Light Railway (DLR) much more regularly than I did before. The DLR is this kind of monorail-type train thing, and while it's by far my most direct route to get to Pete's, it's almost laughable. I always say it's "more a ride than a mode of transportation". It feels like being at an amusement park, and like you should only be on it for 4 minutes to get from Pirate's Lagoon to Snoopy's Doghouse or something. I always expect to hear Merry-go-Round music when I'm on it.
For you cartographiles, here's a map of my route from Lewisham to Woodford, where Pete lives (the thick blue line). It's about an hour door to door, 30 minutes of which is on the DLR. It famously takes about an hour to get just about anywhere in London.
