Not for the faint hearted Jim. I'd have shot through like a Bondi tram. But it is all happening at your Waterloo station. A bloke just got skittled by train. Access Denied.

The time I was working by the Avonmoor in Hawthorns about 1959. Took the ch. engineer at his request to see the high lights of Shields, so mechanics was top of the list. Finished up in these two girls flat. They between them were receiving 5 different allotments from 5 different seamen. Can't swear to it but believe your name was mentioned, no wonder you were always broke. These two girls had no limbs missing so wasn't Mary, unless of course you amputated at a later date. If it was did you ever find a buyer for a leg. Cheers JWS.

I boarded the train at my local station Waterloo .Would you have moved or would you have stuck it out to the end.

As a good citizen what you should have done was to take the advice of Messer's Corbyn and friends an engaged in a dialogue with said person in order to discover;
a: was he suffering a fever, hence the warm clothing
b: Was that his lunch in the rucksack
c: Had he been radicalised, if so you could help him to de radicalised
e: Was he a terrorist and was that a bomb in his rucksack
Any of the above would prove to the person just how politically correct you were and understanding of his faith,
or alternatively you could have opened the carriage door a kicked him out, preferably whilst the train was in motion.

What would I do, most likely go to the dry cleaners withy my pants.

I have twice reported what I considered to be very odd events localy. Both were false but as the copper said I did the right thing as one can never be too careful now.
As to bike helmets, you have to take them off over here in banks, shops and a number of other places.
There was a time when women who worte the burqka were given a private room in the bank to do business but not any morte as some complianed that it was discriminating against normal persons.
