A London commuter travelling from Whitechapel to Sloane Square was left "embarrassed and ashamed" today after failing to mind the gap between the train and the platform.

Friends laughed and pointed fingers as Mark Gregson lodged his right foot in the gap whilst boarding a Westbound District Line train.

Witnesses say the incident was highly amusing, though some had sympathy for Mark and his badly grazed shin.

"I just couldn't stop laughing" said Mark's friend, Carl.

"The woman on the speaker system had just finished saying "please mind the gap" when the silly cunt forgot to mind the gap".

Mark has so far refused to speak to the media about the incident, though this may be due to a general lack of interest from news networks and publishers.

The incident comes in a week when tragic local commuter, Wendy Mann, failed to follow simple TFL instructions to "stand clear of the approaching train".
