I was in London recently and noticed that it said “Mind the Gap” on the subway/metro and in the stations. If I wanted to tell someone that I did that - would I say “I minded the gap” or “I mound the gap” or something else? They both sound wrong, so curious as to what would be the correct English here....

In your best cockney accent you would say, “Oi, mind the gap I did!”

I tried asking this in my own bowl with no responses, so seeing if other consultants have run into this situation. I’m on parental leave, I got an offer for another firm, great opportunity and pay. How does one go about a resignation mid-leave when you would start the new job before the leave ends? Two weeks notice or just say I am not returning effective the day of the new job? Any things to consider besides potentially repaying the employer healthcare premium?
