| It isn't done in Europe: the train just goes.

He doesn't live in Europe. In Sydney we have many idiot passengers. They
can't tell when the doors are closing without the guard telling them. They
can't tell when there's a gap between the platform and the train without
painted notices on the platform. They can't tell when the trains moving
without the Driver blowing the whistle.
