Just what exactly do they do? At the junction outside Southwark tube, morning and afternoon rush hours, witnessed them being completely and utterly useless. In the morning, a bunch of us were approaching the red light, all very civilised to roll into the ASL one after another, the copper turned to us, wouldn't stop staring at us, as if any of us had any intention to jump... Then 2 cyclists jumped behind his back...
In the evening, coming back, same spot, pretty much the same thing, everyone was rolling into the ASL, a copper was finger pointing and talking in a shouty way to either a fellow cyclist or the motorbike guy next to him, not sure. I mean as far as I could see, neither of them did anything wrong, the light was changing, so if anything, it should thumps up for the motorbike guy for stopping, he could have gone through the amber light easily.
Saw many more of them on my way, most are either chatting with each other or giving directions to tourists...
