Is that a line from a Beatles song Dermot?

There is little on this earth not capable of annoying someone, somewhere.

In 1974 Abbey Rd still looked much as it does on the cover of the album. I used to drive that way going to work and there was little sign then of crazy tourists - but then the band members were all still alive and music had moved on.

The studios themselves are still busy.

Lovely Rita meter maid... I often wondered if the Beetle got a ticket.

I was often amused by the ones who picked the wrong crossing :-D

I find it a bit silly now, I bet a high number of those tourists were born long after the Beatles split up. Zzzzzz

Yes quite right total chaos wonder there are not more accidents, motorists do take care except of course for the "I am exempt from all rules" cyclist that ignored the pedestrians and barged on through!

Motorists who use that road on a regular basis are probably used to it. I just watched it for a couple of minutes and could see the approaching traffic slowing down, even when there was no-one there.

Mow 'em down.

It must be quite irritating to live in this area - to know that whenever you use the zebra crossing, anyone in the world can see you :-0
I've just been watching it, and within 3 minutes, tourists were taking pictures!!

Equally irritating for drivers, as tourists faff around on the crossing :-|
