5. Dont Surf The Escalator
One of the first things anyone with a mental age lower than their shoe size will notice when heading down into the underground, is that every escalator has a wide, sheer silver partition between the up and down moving stairways that looks very much like a fun fairground slide. While it would a joy to dive face-first down these with a yell of Cowabunga, there are two very good reasons why you should never do it. First are the several hard plastic signs announcing Stay to the right that would happily make mush of your face as it pummelled into each one on the way down. Second, if you did manage to avoid these obstacles, your only form of breaking is to pulp your face on the harder tiled wall at the base of the escalator. Best to just stand boringly and sensibly, and save the sliding joy for Alton Towers.
