Offtopic: I've given up on protesting about the word "chav", and have decided instead that, since it is clearly such a wonderful term, it should have its franchise expanded. Right now, I have decided that anyone without a degree from Oxford or Cambridge, at least one parent with a degree from Oxford or Cambridge and a proper pair of lace-up leather shoes is a great honking worthless chav. This has unfortunately rather forestalled my attempts to popularise the term "attack nouv", used to describe anyone who has no problems with the elements of social and economic mobility that have allowed their family to improve their own lot, but feels that it's time to get rigorous about class divisions again now that advantage has been gained.
Ontopic: In my experience, at least of myself, people who press "open door" are generally people who are used to catching trains as well as tubes and are short of sleep. And I always get happy when I see Tube mice. They're unavoidably cheering things, being as they are tiny and a bit like shrews.
As for characters - how about the inexplicably early drunken group? Usually two people, about 7 or 8 o'clock, who give every impression of being utterly blootered despite also being apparently dressed for the office. |
