Lost and Found Again
Monday, June 30th, 2008I left my pullover on the train on Friday night.
This was partly because I was in a rush – I was off to radio club to give another of my popular talks – and partly because of the fat bloke sitting next to me: I was so pleased to be getting away that I grabbed my rucksack and ran, without checking that I had everything with me
The South West Trains lost property system is pretty good: you report your lost item via a sepcial page on their website, and a couple of hours later a little man phones and gives you a reference number which you use to get your jumper back. Admittedly the lost property office is at Waterloo – fine for me, but it must be a bit annoying if you left your property on the Portsmouth – Southampton train. And the recovery fee for a pullover is three squids -a bit OTT for a Matalan jumper that was only a fiver in the first place.
Still, I’ve got my jumper back- AND I found a cache (Poetry Please) on the walk to work this morning!
