Seen on the Underground. I really enjoy witnessing how words and signs can be abused by their surroundings. This is a great example, reflected in the announcement of the driver; after the ever predictable “Mind the doors,” came, “That means you sir. Which part of ‘Stand clear of the doors’ do you not understand? You stupid little man.” I get so tired of the repetitive, non-informative looped announcements it’s nice to hear a real tube driver with a real personality.
