OK, so is this either the demonstration of a sense of humour, or a deeply stupid and impractical insistence that 'lop-sided' living is what makes your neighbours envious these days?
It's not obvious to me as something similar is on show at St. Pancras. Up at the East Midlands platforms are a number of passenger benches which are mounted on an incline steep enough to make sitting uncomfortable and the benches themselves redundant. I don't know whether this was an oversight or a deliberate attempt to put the fun into sitting, which it doesn't. Naturally you slide off. This surely must have been accounted for in the plans, so why a flat-space couldn't be produced which would accommodate level benches is beyond me. It in an in-joke?
