TfL have unwittingly upset our Dutch friends with a new version of the famous London Tube Map which replaces the station names with names of famous sports people.

Usain Bolt

Fanny Blankers-Koen

Who?

Then again, if you asked me to name as many olympic athletes as I could, I could only name one: Wilma Rudolph.

The idea that some people are "offended" by the omission is itself ridiculous. The fact that TFL is redoing the map to include her (presumably bumping somoeone else off of it in the process) is even more ridiculous. Who cares? Chill out and grab a sandwich!

Usain Bolt is the current fastest man at his distance(s).

I'd never heard of Fanny Blankers-Koen either.

But TfL are obviously expecting to make money from this keepsake as it would be of no use in gettting around the Tube system.
