As quite frankly I would rather wait for a

power comes on.

I'm sure a lot of people on this group feel very differently

What amazed me was the swarms of people walking.
The last time I was in New York there was a problem on the subway. And people
just left the station and walked down the road. Literally down the road. Not
even on the pavement. Just a swarm of people walking down the middle of the
room.

I've seen things approaching that outside Kings Cross when the tube
station has been closed (usually a "security alert") in the morning rush
hour.

Which only demonstrates the attitude of LUL staff regarding their passengers.

Ahh, but they were on the pavement ... in NYC that is the road!
(They also drive on parkways and park on driveways. Odd buggers.)

And exactly what makes you think I am LUL staff? Has it ever crossed
your mind that I am just someone who is ****ed of with the troll CJG?

That there arn't any posts about the power cuts in America and the chaos
it
caused on the New York subway. Perhaps CJD might have realised that us
knuckle-scraping morons might actually be needed to come and rescue him
one
day?

It was surprising that the NY subway doesn't have emergency lighting like LU
does.

So you would in fact rely on LU staff, so why suggest otherwise?

No. I would wait to be told by a reliable source that the power was off
for good before I left the train. And yes that would most likely be a
LU employee. But then there is a small chance it could be policeman or
fireman. But yes I would agree it would most likely be a L.U. Employee
as Im on the Underground. So that would be kinda be expected?

It happened all over central London during the tube stikes a couple of years
ago.

Indeed so. But you claimed that "I can assure you if I was on the
underground and the lights and power went out I would be up in the fresh air
way before the station
assistant has found his dusty safety instructions book."

Perhaps you would like to withdraw that rash claim?

If he's misremembering then so am I.

Indeed, it rather looks like CULG is wrong. I'm sure Clive'll
correct it soon enough.
