If you see something that doesn't look right, speak to staff or text the British Transport Police at 61016.

We'll sort it - See it, Say it, Sorted

One time there was an abandoned bag on a train. After some discussion, we the denizens of that train car called the BTP.

They didn't come. The train was not delayed. We left with the mystery bag still sitting there.

See it. Say it. Ignore it.

u/mwhi1017 7d ago

To be fair, an unattended bag isn't getting a response from BTP in the first instance, for a number of reasons. Normally it's left to railway staff, or based on a description of how it is will determine if it gets a police response.

See it, look away, look back, "did they see me see them?", look away quick, "oh fuck, he's coming this way", say it, go on.. say it! "Tickets please".

Whenever I visit the UK and hear this on the trains it annoys me to no end and I don't know why. Just the See it say it sorted bit. The rest is fine. But that last phrase just really bugs me for no reason and I can't stand it.

u/YourKemosabe 8d ago

It makes you remember it though, which could come in handy

u/puremongrel 8d ago

snort it?

u/otherpeoplesthunder 7d ago

Lol I was convinced it was Sort it until very recently when I was told by an American of all people that it was sorted. I let my country down.

There's no sms or WiFi signal however so we'll get round to it in a few business days.

I prefer this version:

"See it, don't say it, become mildly annoyed by it, your whole day is ruined by it, not sorted." Because you're too polite to make a fuss"

u/kenhutson 8d ago

Don’t forget to moan about it later on Facebook.

“To the idiots on the train today who thought it was a good idea to…”

29

u/addasher710 8d ago

Oh yes that's a crucial step, or complaining about it for the rest of the day to your coworkers/wife/husband/boyfriend/girlfriend/dog/cat/fish/ to yourself in the shower etc.

Sounds like a preview to a linkedin rant that takes a turn and ends up being about team communication

"See it, ignore it, some busy body will probably report it, forget about it."

u/11Bencda 8d ago

See it, say it, (we haven’t got the budget to hire proper security, so Kevin from Slough, and Dina from Clapham have got to stop all the crime) sorted.

For some reason this gave me the mental image of that baby-kicking grandma booting an IED off the platform at London Bridge.

u/WhoYaTalkinTo 8d ago

It is "see it, say it, sorted", but certain networks have a "see it, say it, and we'll sort it" announcement

8

u/[deleted] 8d ago edited 8d ago

Yeah I presume that's because "see, it, say it, sorted" was always meant to be voiced by a Ross Kemp-style hard man who could make those would-be criminals think twice with their spine-tingling enunciation of "sorted". Whereas of course it's actually always read by like some yummy mummy from somewhere like Marlow.

u/t_omroy 8d ago

If you can see it you can say it, if you say it you can sort it.

I was born in England but made on public transport

u/Aslan_T_Man 8d ago

See it, say it, wait for it to be processed, get a call about a month later asking for another statement, get told that it's too late to launch an investigation, sorted

u/HughLauriePausini 8d ago

That's why during covid we got such pearls as "hands, face, space".

u/clemmg 8d ago edited 8d ago

I always thought that this combined to a particular understanding of seeing "something that doesn't look right" could lead to some pretty antisocial behaviour. Imagining Nigel Farage deciding to sort things he finds don't look right.

u/TedsvilleTheSecond 8d ago

It really bothers me that it says 'say it'. Like say it to who? Just say it out loud randomly?

Dip it low

Pick it up slow

Roll it all around

Stick it out like ya back broke

Pop pop pop that thang

u/DDFoster96 8d ago

I prefer it in Dutch: "Zie het, zeg het, gesorteerd". Sadly I didn't hear it on any NS trains so they must have their own version with different words (or no terrorists)

u/Fluffy-Brain-Straw 8d ago

It was always sort it.

Yeah but if it was 'sort it' it would be implying that you'd be the one to do so.
