As If

Alex: Looney Tunes. Jamie: Bugs Bunny will be fine? Sooz: Yes, Tom and Jerry will gonna love that. Looney Tunes is the name of the animated cartoon series that Warner Bros create from 1930 to 1969 that have some of their most known characters, like Bugs Bunny, Porky Pig, and Daffy Duck.

Jamie: Eh, Rob, did you know in 1899 the average speed of motorised transport was twelve miles per hour? And now, a hundred years later, the 21st century, it's the same - twelve miles an hour. Jamie is referring to the state of horse drawn transport in Victorian London (there were no motorised vehicles to speak of at the time) when an average speed of 12 miles per hour was considered so bad that an Act or Parliament was passed to build the Metropolitan Railway - the world's first underground city public transport system - to ease the congestion. So successful was the railway that a few years later the Metropolitan District Railway was built. As the Metropolitan and District Lines of today's London Underground these two enterprises continue to ease the traffic problems on the surface.
