London's pedestrians (or could this be anywhere?)

Just my observations......


Dumb and dumber
They amble along with no sense of direction, they are not aware of what's around them or think about anybody else, they get off a bus and crash into you if you happen to be walking past. They walk out of a shop door come to a dead stop and for some reason look in their shopping bag while standing still right in the middle of the pedestrian traffic flow. They queue for a bus or cash machine and block the pavement.
They cross the road right in front of the bus they have just got off and cause confusion and mayhem as they peer  around the front of the bus, some run across the road and take risks, some just walk out and of course cause the bus they just got off to be delayed or worse run over a few of them.
The ones I have mentioned above are the clever ones, wait to you tangle with the ones with a mobile phone or a ipod stuck in their ears,  it's crazy out there.


No money out there

I know why!! Lambeth Council and TFL are spending it all on road speed bumps and other road obstacles so the non-thinkers I mentioned above can carry on with their kamikaze pedestrian life style but bring everybody else down to a snail pace. With these speed lumps and bumps, I have never seen the like anywhere else (apart from Southwark council). There is more obstacles on Lambeth's roads than there was on the Normandy beaches.
