Giggle No  I helped a guy a few years ago with loads of baggage at a station. As it turned out he had just bought a one way ticket to India (fed up with England apparently) without booking any accomodaton. Really interesting guy. He's the one who left me with the words of wisdom "Don't ever expect things in life". It's held me in good stead since. I often wonder what happened to him? I did meet an elderly lady at the underground..her first ever experience of the tube and she was travelling across London with stack of luggage to visit her son so I did go with her to help her as far as the mainline and then another kindly soul offered to help her get to the train as they were catching the same one...when I left her I couldn't help wondering why her family couldn't have come to help. |

Maybe she's pissed then off over her life? |

I helped an old git on the underground recently when he couldn't get through the security gate quick enough. I put my hand over the light sensor after doing my contactless card so he could get through after me. He was thankful and sat on the train and I helped him off. He was very slow so I blocked the doors from closing and annihilating him. I felt really good afterwards because firstly it cancelled out the bad deed with the fat woman's luggage and secondly because I managed to pinch his wallet and got a tenner so FREE BEER ! |

Another one that happened recently was I was chucking the magnet in while coming down Camden locks and I found a few windlasses and a keyring with a Yale key and a gas meter/bin key. I was wanting a bin key anyway so I put it in my pocket. Anyway at the next lock there was a boater asking if I had a spare BW watermate key. There are security locks on some paddles so you don't get far without a BW key. I thought about chucking the magnet in again to see what I could find then remembered the key I had previously found which was a Yale. It turned out to be a BW key. I offered it to him and he gave me a tenner. I was ready to give the key to him but one must not look a gift horse in the mouth. He said he was in his way to Whilton so a BW key would definitely be useful specially for Wink well swing bridge . Both parties happy |

BW keys are made of brass and are not magnetic. You made that one up. I claim the tenner. True story. The BW key was on a steel keyring with a plastic bin key. I have a proper magnet BTW which also pulled 6 windlasses out in the same place. |
