You may recall some minor observations or incidents on my previous travels and I am here to report a couple more.
The other day I got on the tube and sat next to agirl. I didn't take much notice of her. You get a lot of them on the tube after all. After a few minutes I noticed her runnaging around in her handbag. Imagine my surprise when she fished out a pair of furry handcuffs. I obviously followed this up with a sideways glance to check her out. Nope, not dressed provocatively and not attractive. Not to me at least.
I started listening to her conversation. Not that I was interested but I thought you might be. Turns out that she goes to school. I reckon she must have been 18 years old and she was chatting to someone who was old enough to be her mother. What did she think of the handcuffs I wondered? Anyway, the tube journey flew by.
She ended at Finchley Central trying to take a picture of a bottle of Coke on a poster that was about 75 yards away and then announced that she didn't think the flash would carry that far.
There were other incidents of course:
I think the girl pulling the huge suticase on wheels between the seated passengers so should could stand at the end of the carriage instead of the middle takes the current prize for sheer, urrrrm, single-mindedness.
Lastly, the Northern Line is back to a full service. Which explains why I had to wait six trains to get a direct one to High Barnet. Poo.
