i remember back in 1990 Baltic exchange bombing and being out in London that night on the south bank. Heard the explosion. Trying to get back out of Liverpool Street, very hard!. Never forget walking through the mounds of office window glass piled up in the streets for a week or so after. Also missed the July 2005 bombing by literally 5 mins. Was on a train just before between Aldgate and Farringdon and found out only when I got to work. Scary Shit!!

Back when there was an IRA bombing campaign in London (well, it was probably several separate bombing campaigns, but it felt like one with gaps to lure people into a false sense of security), I spotted what looked like a carefully wrapped parcel in a rubbish bin at Highbury and Islington station.
I thought "who the fuck carefully wraps up their rubbish before throwing it away?", so I drew the attention of the LU staff to it. They agreed it was suspicious, and called the OB.
The OB sent a single, very young WPC, who had clearly no specialist training at all.
She cleared the platform of me and the one or two other members of the public, and then proceeded to carefully unwrap the carefully wrapped rubbish (a square-sided empty spirits bottle)
I saw it, I said it, and the OB did indeed sort it. Albeit at the risk of having inexperienced WPC splattered all over H&I station.

It's SO irritating primarily because it's obviously supposed to be said by a Cockney accent. At my local tube Station (Chalk Farm) most of the announcements are voiced by the perfect Cockney voice, Alan Ford who lives around there.
It's when you hear all the er... inclusive types having a go at speaking English when it's something that they wouldn't dream of saying when it becomes more fucking annoying.
Imagine (as a random example) an African saying that stupid announcement in normal conversation? It doesn't FIT but they shoehorn it in anyway. There are loads of London black people who speak like us if they MUST insist on this leveling up old bollocks.
Actually come to think of it they should give the job to a REAL minority (according to the last census), a Londoner who identifies as white British.

I do not know why they have gone for a cheesy slogan and not an announcement asking people to report suspicious activity
I was called a racist vigilante for asking a property management manager if she had got the main door keys off of a known crack head after he fucked off without paying rent

Didn’t some people report some people acting suspicious before the Ariana Grande concert but we’re told not to be racist?

I thought it was just me and my descent into older age crankiness,
Those messages and their other ones NEVER f'ing stop, whilst you're either at the station, or on the trains themselves, it's just constant unessessary bombardment.
It's sometimes a relief to hear all the train delay messages, as then the see it/say it ones have to take a backseat.
Then there's the buffet car ones, which seem to announce EVERY SINGLE THING on sale, whether you're in the least bit interested or not.
You hardly ever see people reading a book on trains anymore, they have made it impoissible with their pointless and inane announcements.

It IS sorted .... the official British Transport advice
See it. Say it. Sorted.
We’re asking rail passengers and people who use railway stations to help keep themselves and others safe by reporting unusual items or activity on the railway
We’ve all got a role to play in keeping the rail network safe, and we rely on you to be our eyes and ears.
Please remain vigilant for anything that seems out of place or unusual on trains or at stations. This could include:
Someone being somewhere they shouldn’t be, for example trying to get through a door marked ‘no entry’
An unattended bag
Someone checking security arrangements, for example filming CCTV cameras at a station
Someone avoiding rail staff and police officers
Someone who could be concealing something under their clothing.

Maybe it's designed for French speaking people: "See it, Say it, Sortie"

surely advice to "sort it" when talking about a potential unexploded bomb is terrible advice.
Should be "See it, Say it, now fuck off"

I hear it as "See it, Say it, Sorted" too.
Totally cringe whatever it is.
Also wonder about the very broad "If you see something that doesn't look right..." appeal. So if I report that I've just seen a grown man wearing pool slides and socks, will they actually do something about it?

One the district line in the days of the IRA bombings there were signs with if you see an unattended package or bag (Someone wrote) shout bomb and run
