[edit] Announcements
Hasn't the announcement changed from:
'Stand clear of the doors, please'
to:
'Stand clear of the closing doors'?
(Alternatively: sta clee of the clopthie doo)
Slightly less polite, but perhaps they felt the additional explanation was required?
Let's not also forget the 'Mind the gap between the train and the platform edge' announcement - obviously intended for those who couldn't work that out themselves!

The Tyne and Wear Metro recently changed their announcement from "stand clear of the doors, please" to a more abrupt "doors closing". It was rumoured that this change was made as a political correctness measure to appease disability discrimination groups - after all, if you're confined to a wheelchair, you can't exactly *stand* clear of the doors... 217.155.20.163 03:03, 20 November 2005 (UTC)
