50 Of The Best Messages On The London Underground Notice Boards Written By 2 Masked Guys
Every day, millions of commuters use the London underground system to travel around. For many, it's a part of their daily routine, no more inspiring than a walk to the bathroom. The majority of travelers have their faces buried in books and ears shut off from the world with headphones. But surprisingly, as it turns out, you can come across some really inspiring messages while on your way to the tube. Some of them encourage people to speak out on invisible illnesses, some are brilliantly clever puns, while some show the day's temperatures that are "100% accurate, 41% of the time," with Beverly Hills being scorching hot at 90210.
But who's behind these little poems and lovely messages? Turns out, it's a masked duo: two guys that started the All On The Board project back in 2017 while working at North Greenwich station. They are station assistants for the London Underground and were working at North Greenwich. Craig David was performing at The O2 Arena on that evening and the two guys were singing some Craig David songs, came up with a little poem for Craig David fans, and decided to write it on a Service Information Board. It started from there.
Many of their messages and poems have been widely shared on social media by many people—singer Katy Perry included—while All On The Board's Instagram account has almost half a million followers. Scroll down below to find some of people's favorite uplifting messages left on the London Underground and vote for the ones you liked the most!

Thank you! For once, somebody didn't tell me to man up. I can't stand our norms. It just isn't right and I can't stand it. I can't express my true opinions about how how I feel. When I was injured and crying I feel that nobody stopped to help. Why should we toughen up like that?

Please upvote! This should be much higher up. Take the time to watch the video, it is well worth it. "Patrick Hutchinson: Viral 'hero' launches new project" https://www.bbc.com/news/av/uk-53658126

Dolly Parton had this illness and had to have a hysterectomy which is sad because on top of everything else she would have made a wonderful mother.

Don't delete yourself, delete the negative people in your life delete negative habits and thoughts. Go where people are that you respect and learn .

It's ok to love ice cream and laugh at funny things. Eat something you like, bless it , enjoy it and DON'T worry about the calories, sugar or anything else for at least one hour.

It is a pain you never get over, time helps you learn how to tolerate the pain.

I think Elaine was downvoted and criticized because her comments were ableist and sounded like the people who are seriously suffering aren’t doing enough to help themselves. Depression and other mental health seriously affects your perception of the world, in addition to the other insidious effects. I saw it as someone who was there (I have no idea to what degree), and don’t want to find herself back there. Let’s just agree that she found a different way to fight her demons, and wanted to share what works for her. At no point did she say you’re weak or you deserve to suffer because you’re not fighting this like a champ. She’s saying we have to be active agents of our life. While we’re doing that, it’s perfectly acceptable to ask for help, to have our days when we’re not as strong. If you want people to fight for you, you have to show them that you want the same thing, that you will fight alongside them for your mental well-being. Don’t keep the people who love you waiting too long. EDIT: I’m sorry if I hurt anybody with the simplicity and narrow choice of my words and views. I include this here not because I worry about being wrong or offending anyone. I don’t want to contribute to anyone’s negative feelings. I just want to say people deal with things in different ways. The more we talk about what works and what doesn’t work from people who study this subject, the people actually suffering, and the people who care for those who are suffering the better we understand and contribute to a pool of strategies to cope and to help. They are all contributions that people can use to tailor a plan for themselves.

Part 2 . I suffer with depression but since hearing her advice I steer clear of making ‘helpful’ suggestions to anyone who may seem to be in a similar situation. I concentrate on listening instead. I know people often feel compelled - I get a lot of advice on physical exercise as I am disabled. The advice is always useless because the people making the suggestions, even if disabled themselves, don’t understand MY situation sufficiently. All this does is frustrate and upset me. Advice can be useful but, lets be honest, it should only really be given if asked for. Well, that's my tuppence worth anyway!!
