Humorously his tube of toothpaste balances on top of his cup of coffee

Getting ready for work in the morning can sometimes be a bit of a rush and on the odd occasion you may be forced to finish the job on the road.

This may mean patting your hair down in the reflection of the train window, or attempting to straighten the creases from your trousers with your hand.

But for this man it means doing something that you probably should have done at home before leaving - brushing your teeth.

The man sits on a Northern Line train and scrubs his teeth furiously while reading his paper on the way to work

This humorous and rather bizarre footage captured on the London Underground yesterday shows a man nonchalantly brushing his teeth as if doing so on a train is entirely normal.

The man, who sits on a Northern Line train, scrubs furiously as another commuter sits down next to him before the video maker focusses on his tube of toothpaste.

Humorously it balances on top of his morning coffee - a strange flavour combination at any time of the day.

The short clip concludes with the video maker zooming out again and filming the man, who continues to brush while reading his newspaper.

Writing online the video maker said: 'I found this man brushing his teeth today whilst commuting on a London tube. As soon as he left, everyone burst out laughing.'

It is unclear whether the footage is genuine or whether it is part of a marketing stunt.
