28. When using the escalator, stand on the left and do not let anyone pass. When you reach the end, step off and stand looking about aimlessly for at least 30 seconds. We love a good escalator pile up.
29. If people are breaking Rule 28, you may walk past them but you must bump into them and knock their shopping. Broken biscuits taste great!
But last night I came across a new situation and am unsure what the rule is. It was the usual chaos at Bank with queues to get through both the Northern Line gate and to the Waterloo and City line. Once through the Northern Line gate, it was plain sailing until the second escalator when it started to get busy, but people were generally following the rules and acting confused in the case of tourists. However, on the last escalator down to the DLR, things got really interesting as for some reason it was heaving. Now we all know that you need to stop at the end of the escalator and look around but what do you do when you can't get off because the passage way is blocked but the escalator keeps moving you forward? Do you just bang into the back of people or do you try and avoid them? Avoiding was not possible last night - and meant everyone was breaking the Golden Rule about not talking on public transport!
