Re: The Happy Thought Thread Part 4
The people in London who travel on the London Underground.
I'll explain.
Yesterday I needed to get my mum to the UCLH in central London.
The only way was by tube, and as she can't walk to far (she was bed bound for 4 months, 3 were Nil By Mouth) so we had to use a wheelchair.
The guard at Epping asked if we needed help at our destination station, I said thanks but it would not be required.
We got to Tottenham Court Road Tube and a I was help off the tube. we got to the 1st of 3 sets of stairs which my mum walked up with me behind with the folded wheelchair a guy offered help, but I said I was OK, as I was walking up he was walking near me I then felt someone just lift the end of the chair.
Even on the escalators the guard asked we needed help.
The only thing I had issues with was the gap & height differences between train and platform.
