Carry too much on tube
In message om, MIG
writes As a late follow-up to this, three times in the last week or two I've been clobbered and nearly taken out from behind by someone rushing past me dragging one of those cases, when they see that they can get through a gap, but give no consideration to whether the case they are dragging will get through. The things are much more of a menace than backpacks. I am always seeing people falling over them. Agreed. The problem is that there is too much handle with often a comically small bag at the end. So you can't see the bag and go base over apex when you hit the handle. I've seen women with what amounts to an oversize handbag on about 5 feet of handle behind them. I often think it would be a lot safer for them and their fellow passengers to carry the damn thing. Like all problems this will only be solved when either ... a. Someone famous gets put in hospital by one. b. Someone sues London Underground for contributory negligence for allowing the things on the tube. -- Edward Cowling London UK |
