# I think that's because they're not from London,
I live in Bristol and I sometimes forget to stand on the right, Because we don't have that rule here. Either that or they're just twats.

# Well I'm from Bristol, I've lived in London two years.
It may take some getting used to at quiet times but at rush hour when everyone else is standing to one side it doesn't take a genius!

It's usually groups of non-english teenagers or clueless american families.

The teenagers I can forgive as they may not read english all that well.

I tend to push through the Americans.

# tell them they have to buy a
"stand on the left" pass. Get them to ask for one at the ticket counter.

# there are signs!
grrr....

I saw some bloke have a go at someone the other day saying, "I'm sorry, I thought six signs up the escalotor was enough, obviously I';m, a bit thick"

Bit more sarcastic than was neccessary, but still...

Plus you'd think people would look and go "Oh, everyon else is standing on the right and walkin g on the left. I wonder why that is"

RANT OVER
