As the trains pull in to Stratford railway station - and at no other station on the line into London, even though the set-up is exactly the same in all of them - a recorded message is played: "Please take care when leaving the train." Well, no, just for that, I will NOT. I will get out backwards with my eyes shut, hopping on my right leg and pointing due North with my left arm, waving my handbag in an anticlowise direction and pointing due South with my nose. So there !
