DjMagra’s stuff ‘n’ stuff

One of the things I love about London (and Paris, New York etc) is that people know how to stand out of your way on escalators etc. Here, you gotta stand to the right, so that people who want to pass, can do, on the left. God help you if you decide to straddle the escalators, or stop on the left hand side, it won’t be long until you are hurled abuse, and in my books rightly so!

It infuriates me as soon as I get off the plane in Dublin, people are straddling the escalator, sauntering down the platform, and generally do just about everything that they can to slow you up. Whilst I was living there, I guess I was just kind of used to it, and whilst it bothered me, it never really got me worked up. Now when I go back home, I’m ready to punch someone within about 30 seconds of getting off the plane, but know that there’s absolutely no point in saying anything because A) people aren’t going to give a shit, and B) I’d probably get a heap more abuse back from everyone around rather than people being in agreement with me!
