At St. David's Station yesterday, being asked by a young woman if I needed help with my luggage.

I hope you swallowed your pride and said yes!

I'm afraid I didn't. For all I knew, she might have been giving me a coded message I was too naive to understand.

Ha...
I remember when I had to cover call out work in SE London one weekend.
I had been booked into a hotel in Blackheath.I was asked by the night porter if my room was ok & if I needed anything extra in my room 😉😉

I was a bit slow on the uptake initially.It had been a long day in the madness of that part of the capital.

Politely declined..Not sure Transco would have paid for that on expenses 🤣

Was he suggesting something more than just some items from the pharmacy ?

Reading that one Scottish fan in London for the match is called Davey Corns. Presumably he walked there.
