... apparently Clarkson is now in touble for saying that trains should not be delayed by suicides
Why is it ok for the crowded throng to stand only inches from passing 100mph trains, but illegal to walk on the motorway hard shoulder?

you can't complain about dwarfism as the guy in the program is a dwarf, bit like lenny lenry gets away with black jokes....
Britain needs to seriously lighten up and rediscover a sense of humour don't you think?0 -

Clarkson's opinion was common enough when I worked on the railway. Not that anybody cared about the commuters, but the effect on drivers and other staff was quite unwarranted.
Time was when railway staff had to clean up. I knew a platelayer who'd once had to pick up a severed head and push it along the line on a flat-bed trolley. The permanently bloodstained trolley then resumed its normal functions.
I think we felt that the utter thoughtlessness of such people probably had a lot to do with their predicament. When it's time for me to do myself in, I hope I'll be more considerate.
And I don't buy the rubbish about people not acting rationally in utter anguish. Leaving aside the fact that suicide may be a perfectly rational act, people generally have access to more immediate and convenient means, e.g. slitting their wrists. Anybody who jumps under a train has given some deliberate thought to the question of ways and means and carried out a deliberate sequence of steps to achieve their chosen goal."It will take, five, 10, 15 years to get back to where we need to be. But it's no longer the individual banks that are in the wrong, it's the banking industry as a whole." - Steven Cooper, head of personal and business banking at Barclays, talking to Martin Lewis0 -

A very thoughtful comment. I think, in this context, there is an element of selfishness.
And, dear pqrdef, I hope you never feel the need to do yourself in.0
