Obviously you never travel on the District line, then.

The buttons never work on the District line, the doors are always
opened by the driver. They stopped using those buttons years ago.

Hmm - never noticed it. Shows how observant I am..... and I was
using the District Line quite regularly a few months ago, too!

They still light up as if they work and a lot of people push them as
well. I think they don't realise that it doesn't make any difference.

I know that they don't make any difference, but push them anyway.
It lights up and sits there tempting you...

It's like those idiots at traffic lights who either:

1. Press the button after someone else has done, in the hope that it changes
the lights quicker.

2. People who do (1), the lights change instantly by coincidence and they say,
"See?"

3. People who don't press the button at all and still wait for the lights to
change. I then press the button and say, "See?"
