Seeing the thread about the arrest in the P & R queue last night reminded me: Who saw the old bloke kicking off because the steward wouldn't let him through the disabled passageway of the Lewes side queue at the station last night? ( He had no mobility issue btw)
His reason for being let through? He had to get the 9.58 train and if he missed it, he would be "very late getting home". (I kid you not) It was top entertainment to break the monotony of the queue. It went on for several minutes. It got better though. He then said he had got permission from "a steward called Beccy after the Blackpool game" who said it would be "okay". When the steward finally got hold of "Becky" on his radio, she had no idea what the idiot was on about.
With the inevitably song of "your getting home in the morning" starting up, the queue jumper skulked off. Well done to the steward who stood his ground. Had it been one of the younger ones, they may well have been browbeaten into letting this idiot through.
