Gaz FFC Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 That horrible moment when the up escalator isn't working and you realise your gonnae have to do it old school ???????????? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I reckon brain surgery would be harder than rocket science for a start. Rocket science is ultimately just the learning and application of agreed truths of physics - bet you brain surgery would be dead fiddly... Both easier than choosing a side on an escalator depending on leg movements Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ross. Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 That horrible moment when the up escalator isn't working and you realise your gonnae have to do it old school First World Problems thread for this pish. The bigger stairs on a broken escalator when compared to normal stairs is a fucking pain by the way. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shandon Par Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 download.jpg It was those very escalators where I started the practice (the ones leading down from the Pancake Place to where the extension was put in). That's the ones. Did you ever notice the dodgy mosaic on the wall was meant to represent the change of seasons? The anonymous door next to Pancake Place was the entrance to the nerve centre of the Kingsgate. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AsimButtHitsASix Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 You need* to check out the escalator at Angel Tube Station. *you don't but it's really big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DA Baracus Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 That's the ones. Did you ever notice the dodgy mosaic on the wall was meant to represent the change of seasons? The anonymous door next to Pancake Place was the entrance to the nerve centre of the Kingsgate. I never noticed that. It's too late now as it's gone I believe. I assume you'd been through that door many times. It must be like a shopping centre Narnia Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
the jambo-rocker Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 If there is enough space in terms of width, you stand on the right, you walk on the left. EDIT: b*****d beaten to it. If yer standing then stand on the right hand side. If yer walking then walk up the left hand side. Hardly rocket science Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shotgun Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 Every escalator should have a trapdoor installed at the top. Whenever anyone stands still on it for more than say, 0.5 seconds, it will open and drop them into the acid bath below. Then it will automatically close and allow the productive members of society to go on about their day. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

welshbairn Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 A huge amount of man hours of invention, engineering and labour, never mind money, have gone into providing a means for you to rest your weary legs, check your phone, read the paper, quick rumble in your pockets or whatever, and you insist on barging your way past people using it correctly. Shame on you all. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hillonearth Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 The system of standing to the right and walking to the left is great in principle, but it never survives contact with the pair of middle-aged boots who can't miss out on another ten seconds standing abreast talking pish at each other. Wouldn't be surprised if Central Station actually employ some to do that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Redhead81 Posted May 15, 2015 Share Posted May 15, 2015 I'm actually not too bad on escalators, generally just walk. Revolving doors on the other hand... I never seem to be able to judge if there is enough space for me to go in "beside someone" as it were.. Couple of awkward encounters over the years tbh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Shame on you all. You missed 'rolling a fag'. I regularly go from Marylebone to Chancery Lane Stand on the right, as God intended, and can have a decent cigarette rolled by the time the escalator gets to the top.
