But especially Moronic Tourists at Paddington Station,

It is Rush Hour.

Whereas you are on holiday and having a relaxing time (though perhaps not in relation to the British Transport system), we have just spent a tiring 7 to 8 hours doing mindnumbing paperwork. We're tired, hungry and just want to get through the 1 to 2 hour journey home as easily and with as little interaction with other people as humanly possible. When you walk down the wrong side despite the fact it is obviously the wrong side, stop and gawk in a really stupid place or just plain meander, don't be suprised when half a dozen Londoners run you over or give you dirty looks.

And no, sorry to inconvenience you but
a) two solid objects cannot, in actual fact, occupy the same space at the same time, and
b) instant teleportation is not one of my super powers.

No Love,
Tosca

I hear you. I think pretty much the same thing. Every day.

Tourists!

Was just thinking today about resurrecting the request to have two lanes on the pavements in York - one lane for the locals (i.e. those who know where we're going and want to get there fast) and one for tourists (so they can walk as slowly as they like, come to an abrupt halt and gawk). The only solution from now till, uh, January, is to go in town very early and get out ASAP

Sometimes I literally cannot get through the gate to go to work, due to tourist-clogging! It's especially fun when that's due to the queue for the biggest tourist attraction snaking all the way up the ramp to my dept's building and out onto the road. ARGH.

Yep. Sadly London streets are too narrow. :-(

Iam sure *you* would not be stopping in the middle of the street for no reason. :)
