Re: my photo- Watch The Gap is what it said here in the United States. in England, it’s “mind the gap.”
Is this the most pressing concern of a commuter? “The gap” refers to the space between the car and the train. I’ve never seen anyone fall into the gap- I’m sure it has happened, but I’ve seen several people fall onto the tracks. And I’ve seen several people almost have their heads crushed because the were leaning over the tracks while not being aware a train was thundering toward them.
Shouldn’t the warning be “Don’t Get Hit By The Train” or “stand back! 48 people fell into the tracks last year at this station alone!” …something like that?
I may be wrong, of course, generally these things develop because the people who run the system see a need. At least that was the way it worked for a few centuries, it’s changing now, but back when Mind The Gap Was first introduced, the world was not as stupid. (People are not more stupid now, but they behave stupidly as is required by current standards and practices)
Perhaps “The Gap” is what causes the most injuries, liability claims, etc. your thoughts are welcome.

“Phobias”
The woman who should be in a circus sideshow as a bearded lady is screaming ‘Islamaphobia!’.
First, I’ve an issue with all of these ‘phobias’.
phobia
/fō′bē-ə/
noun
1. A persistent, abnormal, and irrational fear of a specific thing or situation that compels one to avoid it, despite the awareness and reassurance that it is not dangerous.
2. A strong fear, dislike, or aversion.
3. An irrational or obsessive fear or anxiety usually of or about something particular
I’ve no phobias, I understand Islam, transvestites (people whom dress and pretend to be the opposite sex), and homosexuals.
I do not fear them.
I do not have to like nor agree with them.
That’s not fear, could be revulsion, but not fear.
I will say this about Islam;-
I’ve 3 daughters, two granddaughters, and of course the love of my life.
They are not now, nor as long as I breathe will they be second class citizens.
I do believe in one Islamic tradition though.
