Why is it that you can have everyone on an escalator standing on the

yet there's always one muppet tourist standing on the left who doesn't
seem to clock that fact? Where do these people leave their brains when
they visit London?

It appears to be a London-only convention. IME most people respond to a
polite "please stand on the right" request.

I say "excuse me, please" while my body language conveys that I am intending
to pass on the left.

That works, usually.
