eastwestdivide Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 Could they not have asked Hello Kitty to sponsor this? Careful now - getting a sponsor for the Citizens Advertising Takeover Service might mean it all disappears in a puff of circular logic. Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

RMweb Premium Mallard60022 Posted September 13, 2016 RMweb Premium Share Posted September 13, 2016 Do you think the Ad Agency misinterpreted the requirements from the all male, sexist and politcally incorrect crowd when asked for a station covered in pictures of loads of cats?

Nearholmer Posted September 13, 2016 Share Posted September 13, 2016 The title of this thread is way up there with a newspaper headline that my brother spotted, and kept on his bedroom wall, when we were kids: Killer Fleas With Guns. I had visions or commuters being turned-away, by threatening looking moggies muttering: "Nuffin' for you to see 'ere, Guv!". Or, perhaps, I thought, DfT has decided to franchise the place out to cats, having had bitter experience with the entity that currently calls itself Southern Railways, but I've just realised that this is the Underground station.

Nearholmer Posted September 14, 2016 Share Posted September 14, 2016 Actually, this may be more sinister than it first appears ........ It seems that cats are taking over metro stations on a global basis: "On Sunday 3,000 people gathered in Kinokawa City to mourn Tama after she passed away last week. If you've neard heard of Tama before, she was the popular station master of the Wakayama Electric Railway station in Yishi. Also, she was a cat. After the station suffered severe budget cuts in 2006 and let its last human Yishi station staff member go, the railway company put Tama, a stray cat who hung around the place, in charge." According to Wikipedia, this Japanese cat actually had two assistants, also both cats, to help run the station. K Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

K If you watch NHK their Japan Railway Journal has featured stationmaster cats more than once. There is even a station building shaped like a cat's head at Tama (Yishi): http://i.cdn.travel.cnn.com/sites/default/files/styles/article_large/public/2013/05/21/main-tama-station.jpg?itok=0wMAsdUL Keith Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
