Heading in to do Americas Newsroom (10:40am hit)
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.
I was about to post this on social media and then I realized maybe Fox doesn’t want to promote it yet. But I’ll post it on here!
Thank you for reminding me. I wanted to talk about our post-show hangout in Memphis and here it is:
“Christkindl Market”
A traditional German style Christmas market.
The 11 of us went to the market, it was a little chilly, and very crowded, as it was opening day.
Mostly food booths and some crafts, with a large German ornament tent.
A few children were heard asking “Do you think that’s the real Santa?”
I of course looked at them, gave them a wink, and put my index finger to my lips, as if it were ‘our secret’.
There were several men walking about dressed as the ‘Christmas Elf’. Although, they were sporting fairly sad, thin beards.
I do need to get a custom outfit.
