Tube = something to get to work on. Or not, as the case may be. 
Mm...confusing this language of ours which both binds us together and divides

I have a friend who was vacationing in London, and an acquaintance told her 
that he'd come by and "knock her up in the morning", or something to that 
effect.  She said she was a bit disappointed to find that the phrase had a 
totally different meaning in the UK.

Yeah, and giving someone 'a ring' doesn't indicate a marriage proposal, either. :-)
