You've never been in the station when a mass of drunken football
supporters have come through, or when a lot of pissed-off City workers
have been stranded by some huge delay? The station staff can't do
anything about delays, but it's *them* who get cursed.

What I find comical is the automated announcers telling you not to do
all sorts of ridiculous things that nobody sane would ever do. I heard
recently (at a mainline station) `the riding of motorbikes within the
station concourse can be dangerous and is illegal.'

I'm waiting for them to tell me `the eating of human flesh within the
station concourse can be dangerous and is illegal'.
