Stupid - Or Dedicated Fans

I just popped along to see how the Abbey Road webcam is going - it's teeming down, dark, gale force wind, yet there's a couple doing the usual dance.

But I suppose if you've made the trip out there, it's difficult to leave without giving it a try.  Somewhat dangerous given motorists' reduced vision.

Stupid 

If you've flown from the other side of the world or even the other side of London to walk over that crossing then why shouldn't you. 

There's video of McCartney recreating the walk and some dickheed motorist nearly runs him over.

Yes tomus, I agree, if you've come a long way then silly to back out. Sad really.

Stupid. Any dedicated fan would plan the trip for daylight hours at least!

it's safe enough, it's a proper pedestrican crossing, I don't think you're more at risk there than anywhere else as you don't slow down for selfies (get someone else to stand by the memorial and do it). I used to drive home past it every night and I always slowed down just in case.

What I never realised until I went there is how close it is to the junction. You don't get that from the album cover.

Question Author

They ought to set up (in the grounds of the Apple Studio) one of those boards (such as you often get at seaside resorts) displaying the album cover with 4 holes for people's heads and charge a nominal fee for usage or even offer a photograph service as well. Any unused holes could have the appropriate Beatle head added.  A real money-spinner.

P.S. Other tourist sites offer a similar feature (e.g. Spinnaker Tower, and Mary Rose museum in Portsmouth). 

Seemingly, they've gone home now.

Mostly stupid.
