You do meet all types of people on the train. It is fascinating to speak with them because everybody has a story. Without doubt those you remember have, invariably, done something or said something funny. Now I like to think I can always think of something funny to say but as I have already shown you all, many times I am lost for words and yes, it happened again this week.
I met a man coming down the train acting as though he had lost something. I asked if I could help him. He explained he wanted to charge his mobile phone and was looking for a socket. I told him the only sockets were in 1st class.
'I thought so' he said and turned around, but as he walked off I asked to check his ticket. Without question, he got out his wallet and gave me a rather dishevelled looking, but valid ticket. It was one of those which appeared to have been used several times so, I marked the date onto the ticket. As I did so the man walked off 'Excuse me, you need your ticket' I said as I went after him,
'No, it's OK, I have another' he replied
'Another, for the same journey' I enquired
'Yes, it's in case I lose one !'
I was left standing there totally confused at what I had heard but I can confirm he was serious, he actually did have two tickets for the same journey!!!!!!!!!!!!
