    The Daily Rant

    That would be a great title for a Charlie Brooker style rant on topical absurdities from a few contributors, printed and handed out at stations. Although I have a feeling there's a blog out there along the same lines that I can't be bothered to search for.

    Mine: Rude/Ignorant/Stupid people in London.

    What is it with the average Londoner? Are they actually stupid? Or is it that they're so wrapped up in their iPods/Phones/Route home that they lose all sense of awareness of their surroundings and other people??

    I'm seriously wondering if the average IQ has gone down a few points in the last 10 years.

    People - when you're idly walking across Waterloo Station concourse in the middle of the rush hour - look where you are going. Don't wander around aimlessly, changing direction every 2 seconds. Don't walk purposefully, in a straight line, to STOP in your tracks and glance at the ceiling! Don't barge into people with no thought or consideration. Don't scuttle onto trains, barging past a pregnant woman to get the last seat in the carriage, you fecking morons.

    Every day, without fail, this kind of thing happens. W*nkers with their tinny rap music blaring from mobiles on buses/trains, Young mums pushing prams at 15mph assuming you'll dive out of their way before their baby hits you.

    What on earth are they thinking?? Or are they just being ignorant? Or is there a whole underclass of people who genuinely have no self-awareness or awareness of other people?

    AAGH.

      Well if you were at Waterloo station then the people that you were complaining about are either not from London or they were South Londoners. Both are scum.

            french

            Talking of trains, why is it that all platform announcements are read out in French as well as English? I would have thought that anyone French would:

            1. Speak English anyway and

            2. Not bother coming to the UK especially at this time of the year.

            It is probably a trick to make an excuse to employ someone who speaks french and will thereby vote for labour by virtue of working for a govt monopoly.
            Let us not forget EU open doors immigration benefits IT contractors more than anyone

              Have to stick around for a while to earn some bucks - and London's where most of the money's flowing I'm afraid. Anyway, Darlington's deader than the deadest dead dodo. Nothing happening there AFAIK.

              I'm sure this is a national affliction though. General ignorance.
