Right time

Just been to the Red Bull Flugtag in Hyde Park. Over 200,000 people according to the policeman on one of the many closed gates.

On the way home we were sitting on the train waiting to leave Victoria when I noticed that the staff member on the platform overseeing the departure of the train, the ones that bellow "stand away" in your face even when your not trying to get on that particular train, had on the back of his high visibly vest, in quite small wording, "Right time departure staff". I assume he knows his job but he can't read the words on his back so they must be there to inform the public of his duties. However its likely that the public will not be able to see those words a they tend to spend most of the day against a chair back while the clad member of staff sips his tea and looks at the pictures in the Sun. I did notice that he was not wearing a watch which may be why the train was late...
