I didn't say that the police were right or wrong in the second case and I was also clear on the first case; inappropriate for work (employer issue), not illegal (not a police issue). You were clear that it WAS a police issue, due to public safety.

Is your contention that you were saying that you thought the tube driver was creating a public safety issue because ... he was distracted and should have been concentrating on pressing the "go" button on the train? If so I apologise (but entirely disagree with the idea that that presents any sort of safety issue, lol) HOWEVER I assumed you considered it to be an issue of public safety because it might create an unsafe environment/civil unrest amongst those listening.

Which you seemed unconcerned about with the bulletin board; while the police were concerned.

Perhaps I have it wrong and you really were commenting on ... err ... the tube train driver's ability to speak whilst driving a train, which might cause ... I don't know. Him to forget where the brakes are or something?

You must really freak out when the pilot starts talking on flights .

"Hello this is your captain speaking, we're just coming into some turbul-- OH **** IF I'M DOING THIS WHO IS STEERING THE PLANE????"
