Pesky passengers

SIR – I would like to add to the list of nuisances that require new laws (Letters, May 23). People waiting until they are blocking the barrier before looking for their train tickets, and those who stop dead the moment they get off an escalator to have an openmouthed gawp around.

The worst, however, are the planners of two-stage pedestrian crossings, who apparently assume that there are millions of us who wish to cross half a road. Victor Launert

SIR – I would criminalise radio presenters who read out the Matt cartoon. Anthony Trollope-bellew
