... Mor-den Words - Extreme LOL. Kayleigh by Marillion mentions Belsize Park "Girl VII" by St Etienne contains a "rap" which mentions about 40 places in London (I think Dollis Hill and Tooting Graveney are in there), interspersed with Baffin Island and other exotic places. -- John Rowland - Spamtrapped Transport Plans for the London Area, updated 2001 http://www.geocities.com/Athens/Acro...69/tpftla.html A man's vehicle is a symbol of his manhood. That's why my vehicle's the Piccadilly Line - It's the size of a county and it comes every two and a half minutes |

(TheOneKEA) wrote in om: the classical music is meant to be a deterent to the kids who hang about the stations - its been doen at several bus stations as well Thanks for the response, but if the music is there to deter kids, why are they playing it at times when kids will be tucked up in bed? I first heard this on Thursday at around 06:45. I feel a better deterrent would be to actually have staff at stations after 7pm - the money that must be lost through fare evasion and repairing damage must surely warrant the salaries of SA's? Or is that too simple? RayB --- Outgoing mail is certified Virus Free. Checked by AVG anti-virus system (http://www.grisoft.com). Version: 6.0.587 / Virus Database: 371 - Release Date: 12/02/2004 |

Though it might be intended to keep vagrants at bay as much as delinquents. Does anyone know different?

writes the classical music is meant to be a deterent to the kids who hang about the stations - its been doen at several bus stations as well What an appalling idea. (Using music as a deterrent) Although Spring played constantly while I was held in a queue for a help-line did put me off Vivaldi for a while.... -- Kat Me, Ambivalent? Well, yes and no. |
