I witnessed the most hilarious sight on the Tube Network the other evening.
To protect the Train Operator concerned - I am not going to give any details of the time or the location of where this happened.
It was early evening, and the all too usual ‘girly brigade’ group were on the same platform as I was, you know the type - skirts up to their rears, Croydon facelifts, a bottle of vodka in one hand and a cigarette in the other, with a scary amount of ‘tango’ makeup applied to their face! Ewwww!!!!
A service arrived at the station, and some of them had got on, whilst a couple were still on the platform ‘kissing’ their girly friends goodbye, the train operator closed the doors and one of them still wanted to board the train, and attempted to stop the train by holding the doors open.
The station was on a falling gradient, so the Train Operator released the brakes and let the train begin to roll, with this tart still holding the doors and following the train down the platform as it made speed and shouting "HELP STOP THE TRAIN, I WANT TO GET ON WITH MY MATES", eventually she lost her balance (the train gained a surprising amount of speed by just rolling) and she fell flat on her face onto the platform, in front of a crowd of other punters waiting - you could see most of them wanting to just burst out in laughter at this tart - she got up crying, her hair was a mess, she dropped her cigarettes in the suicide pit and smashed her bottle of vodka on the platform as she fell.
I'm sure her makeup and plastic chest cushioned her fall. ;D
I was I had my camera with me - this would have been a You Tube gem!!!

The T/op could get into serious trouble for doing that! I'm sure I would have laughed my head off if I'd been there (damn chavs), but if she had fallen under the train nobody would be laughing I'm sure!

Classic - perhaps she'll think twice about doing the same thing again. Action - the only language some people understand!

Whats wrong with women dressing up to have a good night out? Who even said they where chavs? |

I have had a great deal of experience of chavs (especially as a DJ, I have to deal with a lot of women 'on a night out'!). |

Indeed, you know the type, inch thick makeup, cigarettes, alcohol, not so much as a skirt as a belt...

I really don't mind people dressed up to the hilt having a great time-its just the idiots that don't have a clue, or don't give a damn! Smoking on trains, pi$$ing on seats and generally being a pain in the rear! When I'm battered and on the train I don't act like a muppet!

Yes, because it is so attractive to leave nothing to the imagination, whilst looking awful because you've plastered stuff on your face, drunk out of your senses and giving everyone in the vicinity carcinogens! Lovely!!

It's the Vicky Pollard Brigade, young, skint, jobless, clueless. They don't care who they inflict their rubbish on, just as long as they get what they want... Two teenage kids on a night out, addressed the whole carriage once while talking to each other  one passenger asked them to keep it down/moderate the language etc because this passenger had children with him... torrent of abuse... I just shook my head, rolled my eyes, then she piped up and said we're going out to have a good time and get plastered... I asked the bloke if he finds it funny waking up in a gutter, he asks me how else can he get a buzz... I pondered for a few seconds, before standing up, zipping up my jacket and saying, grab a six inch nail, stick it in a plug socket, and switch it on. He pondered that for a minute and then told me he'd get electric shock... Cle-ver! |

Its not just Vicki Pollard types, you have posh chavs a plenty about, who are just as bad, if not worse, due to the fact they are supposedly "educated".
As to the original post, its funny, but like someone said, if she went under, well.........
People holding doors open is a major gripe of mine.

You have reminded me of something, yesterday there was nothing on TV so I lowered myself to watch the Jeremy Kyle show, his guests were a mother, 15 year old daughter and aunt. The daughter was a mirror image of Vicky Pollard, you couldn’t find anybody else like her - she stole her aunts credit cards and spent all the money held in her account on whatever she wanted. She also had taken drugs and stole other items which did not belong to her in the past. I've just done a search on Google for 'chav girl' and the results came back with this offthehoox.com/2006/08/09/ ;D |

Unfortunately your postal address will say "ESSEX"... as it does for my parents in Hornchurch.... The outer London boroughs are a bit of an anomaly in that they are within Greater London, but fall, as in Havering's case, within the boundaries of the county outside London... Barking & Dagenham is considered to be the first outer London borough as depicted in the phone code of 020 8.... Havering has 01708 - sorry  |

Havering has 01708 - sorry Actually, postal addresses no longer require the use of a county, and haven't done for years. There is no anomaly - some people say that Uxbridge is in Middlesex, when in fact the county ceased to exist many years ago. On the flip side of your phone code argument, Loughton is actually in Essex, but has an (020) London code! It's amazing how many people believe that the postal address defines the county in which they live - wrong, wrong and wrong again! I had a big argument with an OAP once, who was saying hpw insulting it is for anyone to say that Havering is part of London. He soon shut up when I suggested that, in that case, he should lose his entitlement to his London Borough Freedom Pass! |

Loughton has an IG postcode! I think... Yes, it does. Postal codes and phone codes mean nothing. People forget that many years ago, places like Stratford and Leytonstone were part of Essex. I don' know of anybody who sill claims that they are, so I don't understand why poople claim that Romford is. I am aware that there is a plan to correct the postal anomalies, and give all places within Greater London a proper London address i.e. Romford will become London E31, or something like that. |

Funny how some people are ashamed to be linked with Essex,but the"posh"areas of Chingford & Wanstead/Woodford don't want a London postal address,it's amazing how many put Essex on their correspondence.

I'm not really ashamed of Essex - just proud to be part of London! And even Woodford isn't clear cut - the area around Woodford station (called Woodford Green) doesn'r have a London postal address. |
