I think face masks are mostly nonsense tbh but I bought this ‘healing clay’ stuff off the internet. It says ‘feel your face pulsate!’ on the tub and I for one, am a huge fan of feeling my face pulsate, so I thought I’d treat myself.
Umm
How do you rrresponsibly dispose of old clay/mud?
I left the clay from last time in the bowl to dry out and have scraped most of it into the bin, I was going to rinse out the rest but I’m thinking it might block the pipes?
Hmmm
Ooh, I would have been duty bound to close call you for that bit of unsafe behaviour!
But yes, you’re right. It happens far too often and is both frustrating and embarrassing (for those of us lanyarded as guilty by association) when it happens.
In general I sympathize with most railway staff who are trying to do tough jobs in trying circumstances. The driver would surely have been aware from what was going on (crowd of people on another platform, all suddenly rushing to the stairs and starting to appear on his train) that he’d arrived on a different platform to the one he’d been booked on though and could’ve used a bit of common sense to wait rather than shouting at everyone over the PA.
This was northbound - out of the core - but yeah, I appreciate drivers are no doubt under pressure from management to keep to time and avoid penalties etc.
