Oh, it's real alright. That's probably the worst one. There are some that are less ridiculous, but they're all quite 'nanny state'.

Trains are the best. Imagine an announcement.

If you see something that doesn't look right, SEE IT, SAY IT, SORTED.

And people say Londoners are antisocial. You're bloody forced to have your headphones on to avoid going insane.

I though it was “SEE IT, SAY IT [and we will] SORT IT”.

It still gives me the chill.

Hmmm, great way to get more people into the subway

Oh yeah.

I used to cycle or drive quite a lot because the public transport system is full of shit like advertising, silly announcements, etc.

Just announce relevant information like departures and stop acting like you're my Mum.

I'm sorry to hear that, sounds pretty insane.

It's real. People are deathly afraid of photographers. I try to remind people that they didn't crash cameras into the World Trade Center, but this argument never goes over very well.

My experience from a few years ago: https://petapixel.com/2016/08/11/dont-think-port-authority-w...

Sadly, no consequences ever came from my article. I didn't get arrested. The Port Authority didn't return our phone calls. They still put "no camera" signs all over their property.

Here's a picture of one of their "no cameras" signs being looked at by one of their cameras: https://goo.gl/maps/oMhyjBcW7LrG4jyu8 I love it.

(To be completely fair, I have to assume that the signs are directed at employees that are going inside. I do think they want to scare the general public just a little bit, because they could easily have put the sign indoors if they were only targeting employees.)

Looks too dystopian to not be true in this day and age.

I'm not a native English speaker though and I'm left wondering what that "Sorted" statement at the end of it all really means. "Sort" what out? Why would you need to "sort" a person who's taking photos of video-surveillance cameras? In what way are they going to "sort" those persons out?

It will depend. One of the most valuable diagnostic tools, as border staff will tell you, is to just go be interested in people. So maybe a BTP Officer (British Transport Police) will go ask them why they're taking photos of CCTV Cameras in a railway station or other critical infrastructure.

As constables they're entitled to ask who you are, and what you're up to. They can write it up and it goes into the enormous pile of puzzle pieces for intelligence analysis.

"Taking photos of cameras at major train station" + "Purchased a truck full of fertilizer" + "Attended talk by nutjob entitled 'War to save the white race'" is three completely legal things that add up to let's authorize detailed surveillance because this is a possible terrorist.

Whereas "Taking photos of cameras at major train station" + "Attended Extinction Rebellion March holding banners that said Eat The Rich" + "Wrote angry letter to local politician saying that they'd be judged in their next life for refusing permission for a new vegan bakery" is three other legal things that add up to this is probably just a hippy and we should keep paying attention but there's no immediate threat.

In this context, it means "satisfactorily dealt with" and is a common (UK at least) English saying.

Here it is obviously used to fit into the rhythmic context to make the instructions easier to remember.

"Sorted" is a word used here to mean that a task has been completed. e.g. "Did you get that thing sorted yet?" "yeah, I sorted it out last week." It can apply to basically anything. You might also simply say "Sorted." as you finish doing whatever it is you're doing, to announce that you are finished. Similar to just saying "Done." or "Finished." in this respect, possibly with the added implication that there was a problem that has now been solved.

It means "Your task is now complete, docile citizen. You may continue with your day."

It's a slang term.

Others have mentioned some meanings, but you could also say something like 'yeah, she's sorted' (meaning, she's a good friend).

Or generically something like "That's sorted, that is", meaning good.

Well sorted, innit m8.

'sorted' doesn't usually imply anything bad. It's rather like '[we've] got this covered'.
