But maybe that wouldn't help their circulation figures, which depend on maximum littering. |

Hmm. From my perspective, I find it deeply annoying if I'm heading into town on a weekday mid-morning that over-enthusiastic LUL cleaners have binned all the Metros - surely it'd be better to leave them out for bored passengers, at least until the evening freebies turn up... (also, IIRC the morning free newspapers involve a hefty cash payment to LUL, bus operators and TOCs - the afternoon ones aren't given out on rail premises so don't). -- John Band john at johnband dot org www.johnband.org |

The significant incident was an IRA bomb left in a litter bin on the concourse of Victoria station in 1991 that killed a man and injured 38 others.... If I wanted to bomb a station, I'd put the bomb in some luggage and leave it somewhere like in the station pub, on a short timer. No more than five minutes, which is enough time for me to get away. People leave their luggage by their table and head off to the bog or something all the time. And of course it's not "unattended luggage" if you've asked someone at the next table over to keep an eye on it for you. -- David Cantrell | top google result for "internet beard fetish club" "IMO, the primary historical significance of Unix is that it marks the time in computer history where CPUs became so cheap that it was possible to build an operating system without adult supervision." -- Russ Holsclaw in a.f.c |
