I couldn't agree more. It's totally logical isn't it? We must all be familiar with that jigging from side to side (that needs a name!) and it's irritating when you make the logical choice and go to the left and the other person goes to their right and expects you to move.
STICK TO THE LEFT...IT'S THE LAW!
A particulary fine example of this rule not being adhered to is at the corridor short-cut entrance to St Pancras station from Kings Cross. There are many signs saying "stick to the left". Do people heed these signs? What do you think? I'm usually carrying heavy luggage and twits walking on their right expect me to move out of their way. I'm usually pretty ratty after travelling so I can see me getting into a fight one day.

Hello Captain Haddock and welcome to this campaign. I'll add you to the (small) list of members right away.
My personal bugbear is that corridor under Paddington Station between the main underground ticket hall and the escalators to the Bakerloo line. There are four highly noticeable signs posted along this walkway saying, in plain English, "Keep Left!". Some people must be completely blind to miss them.

I've had a thing about his for a number of years and how logical it is to walk on the right so I couldn't believe it when I saw it on your page
