Yes, I agree. Many foreigners learned to speak cantonese quite well. But their pronunciation is bad. This one is good, his mandarin is rubbish though. I bet he grew up in with Cantonese people around him.

@@dadt8009 he said its mainly from being interested in all things Chinese (in those time probably Hong Kong) and watching badly dubbed kung-fu movies

@@lkrnpk Yes, you are right. I only saw that after I wrote but didn't change my comment. It makes his accurate pronunciation even more amazing.

The convo of no pfp gang

He is from mainland China and when I heard his fluently Mandarin and you will see he cannot understand Cantonese.

The Jubilee line in London also has this. I'm not sure it would be possible to install gates on some of the old stations on the other lines of the London underground, as platforms are often quite narrow.

Thailand did this several years ago

One of the reasons why London Underground have not installed platform gates is because on curved platforms there is a risk that a passenger could fall between the platform and the train and become trapped. Lots of platforms on the tube have very large curves and a person could easily fall into the gap. While the Jubilee Line extension and the new Elizabeth line has full height glass doors, the primary purpose of these is actually to do with ventilation and smoke extraction, not to stop people from falling onto the track. That is why the above ground Jubilee Line extension stations do not have platform doors.

I went to Japan a few weeks ago and pretty much every metro/underground station have gates

So the Tube is so big and has sooo many curved platforms it’s impossible to put in gates... yet Japan has more stations and more people on each platform and they have curved platforms and yet... have put in gates. The platforms aren’t circles, their long curves. You can put in gates. Yoyogi is a long curve and it has gates. Could it be as simple as...not enough funding to install?

@@forza223bowe5 Racist? If I'm in Japan, acting like an a-hole, and I don't speak a dickey bird of Japanese, I am the dickey head. But seriously, I think it was a humorous remark. Sometimes the truth is not easy for people to take. Not sure how his remarking on a foreigner's inability to speak the local language is racist. If "Dickey Bird" is distasteful to you, don't lick it.

I still use that term ''Not a dickey bird'' 🐦...It means ''Word'' Eg, ''Heard from so and so?...'' ''No...Not a dickey bird.''

@@Oakleaf700 Thank you for that explanation. I'm an American, and I always enjoy learning more about British idioms that I find otherwise amusing. In the US, perhaps it isn't uncommon for "dickey bird" to mean a small flaccid "thing", hence the humor. Keep in mind that some religions frown upon those who play with their dickey birds - I say spread your wings and fly...

@@soapbar7371 The poor suicide victims are too busy being dead. Life goes on.

@@soapbar7371 poor victims? It's the most selfish act that a person could perform. I understand that people have issues and suicide is a terrible thing but why would they chose such a public place with so much impact to others? There are so many other ways they could chose to clock out that wouldn't affect as many people

​@Wisthanton it isn't their fault as they are not always thinking right

@@soapbar7371The thought of being the death of someone is very dreadful, especially if it wasn’t your fault, usually because you’ll blame yourself. It can lead to PTSD - just because a suicide victim might be going through things doesn’t mean they are the only one that’ll be affected by their actions.

When somebody is feeling suicidal they aren’t thinking straight. I’ve been in a situation when I wanted to end it all. You don’t think about anything except that.

@@oli20210 I dont agree. I've been there and this "method" was never an option for me. I hate disturbing people, i never want to even ask for help for anything. I guess it goes with each person's personality. Even if you are considering suicide, unless you are mentally insane and totally unable to control your actions, you know what you are doing and you can make choices. However I wish people would choose to live.

Mara Ram It really depends on people I can see where you’re coming from

Everyone experiences mental illness differently. Obviously a person still has to take responsibility for their actions even with a mental illness and committing suicide in a way that mentally disturbs other in such an awful way is still very much their responsibility and I’m not excusing it. However, I don’t think you can say you know how everyone feels when they’re depressed because you have felt in a similar way before, as I say everyone experiences mental illness and suicidal thoughts differently

This series was not originally produced by them. It was first published on UK television quite a few years ago.

I agree and have thought this for years. It's the poor people left to scrape you up off the pavement that I feel so bad for, the train engineer that has to go back to work and worries every time they are approaching someone just a little too close to the edge of the platform, the bus driver .. the truck driver .. the Paramedics .. it's all just so sad .. the police that have to try to find out the identity of the person and then find the next of kin and then break that sad news .. it goes on and on. There has to be a better way for people with extreme depression that want to kill themselves.

He can anyone tell me what pets are. The thin he said at 2:48 ? Kind regards

It's those left behind who have to deal with the ramifications of the suicider's cowardly and selfish exit.

@@neilforbes416 If someone is in the state of mind to throw themselves in front of a train, should we *really* expect them to care about inconveniencing others? It's a bit like being angry at deer roadkill for going on to the road and being hit by a car.

@@DreamClean Deer are just animals and cannot be expected to have road sense, like kangaroos and koalas here in Australia that wander onto the road and get killed by passing cars, buses or trucks that don't see them until it's too late. But people who choose to end their lives do so often for selfish reasons, then it's left to the rest of their families to pick up the pieces, and for a train driver like the lady in this episode, her career could be wrecked by the selfish actions of someone who is a total stranger to her.

@@neilforbes416 Indeed but you're expecting someone who's willing to kill themselves to care about someone else's career. . . . . .

@@DreamClean No, and that's what makes the suicidal person so selfish, the fact that he/she does not care how his/her suicide is going to affect someone he/she doesn't know.

That would be a great help for those of us with a fear of either falling or being pushed

some horrors you have seen there mate... i hope things are better for you now, it's great that you can talk about it. stay in the fight!

I send you good wishes and hope you are doing well.

The Government says suicide is legal, but it does everything it can to make it very difficult to actually do. Safe and effective drugs for reliable and peaceful overdose? Illegal to get. Almost impossible for prescription. City gas? Get rid of that. You will even be detained in a psychiatric hospital if you want to kill yourself, but suicide is legal. You can't give someone counsel or assistance in committing suicide, but suicide is legal. It's the only thing that is legal to do, but illegal to assist with. That's just cruel. Maybe if euthanasia and/or assisted suicide were provided, competent people in constant physical and/or psychological pain could have a reliable and peaceful death, and not have to jump in front of trains, or botch overdoses or hangings, and ruin many people's days or even lives. If it were provided, some people don't even end up killing themselves, because they know they have a way out, and have the strength to fight a terminal illness to the end. It's cruel to say you can kill yourself, and then take away all the reliable and peaceful ways to do it. It's also cruel to say you can't have a reliable and peaceful death for your psychological suffering, and then don't help people live, even if they've been begging for help from the NHS, other Government bodies, and even family for years. Anyway, they'll just keep installing platform screens to take away yet another way to end your suffering relatively quickly (if done properly). Note that they only ever show 'survivors' who say they're happy to be alive, and not the dead ones who are glad they died, or the living ones who are sorry they didn't die.
