£50 says he will not be doing that again.

Three thoughts;

We are better off without his genes in the pool.

Why do they allow people on the roof of a train?

Allow? You've not been to India, have you? That was a quiet,
clean, well organised station by Indian standards.

Doesn't matter if I've been there or not. Allowing people to
travel on the roof of a train is a ****ing stupid idea anywhere in
the world.
You are coming from completely the wrong angle

Its not a question of not allowing them, its a matter of how do you
stop them

As I said in an earlier post, we manage to stop 300 million
Americans & 700 million Europeans riding on top of trains.

Who is "we" ?


Americans & Europeans?

And when did we ever have a culture of riding on train roofs?


Exactly, we always knew it was a daft idea.

We also have a guide called the highway code which tells people how
they should drive on the roads


I know, Dennis wrote it.

If you went to India and expected to be able to drive in accordance
with the HC, you would be dead within the hour, no high voltage power
line required


Just cos thats the way they do it doesn't make it the right way to do it.

Are you being deliberately obtuse here ?
