Anniversary today so even more people walking the walk.

I'm finding it difficult to stop watching.

How irritating for those poor motorists.

Some old guy just walking backwards and forwards on it a few times stopping traffic.

McGray · 9 Aug 2012 at 14:03

The tourists not understanding it's an actual crossing and just standing there while traffic stops for them.

Buses must be used to it as they just tear through lol.

This is just round the corner from me... people actually do this on a regular basis? :confused:

How sad...

I wonder if there's an ambulance permanently posted around the corner?

Presumably this, although that would have been yesterday.

Can't say I understand the significance of today though, as Abbey Road wasn't released in August, neither was The Abbey Road EP by the Red Hot Chili Peppers...

Yeah anniversary of when the pic was taken.

Was yesterday though, my bad.

Did anyone else think of Dom Jolly's snail crossing?

Noel Gallagher · 9 Aug 2012 at 15:53

Some right idiots on that. Its amusing

HAz · 9 Aug 2012 at 15:57

Only a matter of time before someone gets run over, live for all the internets to see.

"At around 11:30am on August 8th 1969, the fab four strutted across the pedestrian (zebra!) crossing by Abbey Road Studios and into pop culture history. "

Yeah, I don't read what I link to, it's usually pot luck as to its relevance. :cool:
