Organised Underground

It's rare, but once in a while London Transport puts someone in a role that suits them to a T.

On arrival at Kings Cross this morning, the announcement to the awaiting throng was:

"OK, everybody, we all know the procedure: stand to the side of the doors and let people OFF the train first! And if you don't like the look of this one, there's another in one minute! Thankyou for your cooperation!"


This was said with a chummy authority vastly in contrast with the usual looking-down-at-his-shoes native Londoner mumble which is an unfortunate standard across the capital.

Hoorah that chap!
