stupid london

During various parts of my aimless wandereing around London I have noticed some stupid things.

a) This sign at Golders Green station

EdgEware Station

The town/station is called Edgware. It only has 2 e's not 3! Well, it's not as if Transport for London would know would they?

b) The two below signs

The Men's Toilets in Cafe Nero, Fulham

Sign in the Men's Toilets

What else would men flush down the toilet?

c) People on escalators

Those who ever, or have ever, travelled on the Tube will know of the standing etiquette on the escalators. The right is for standing, the left is for walking.
However I have noticed that those people who stand while riding start walking at the end and those who walk down stop and stand for the last few feet. Why exactly? It's like the old Peter Kay cliche of grandmothers and seatbelts.
