The other week I had to visit my company's London office which isn't too much of a big deal - it means taking a train up to Victoria. However, currently I'm suffering from a slipped disc in my neck and it's got to the point where it's been pressing on my spine which causes me to get quite wobbly on my feet. Lately I've been using a walking stick to keep my steady as I've fallen over a few times now.
So there I was one late Thursday evening trying to find a seat, hobbling down the carriages with a walking stick. My first surprise was that nobody in 8 carriages was willing to give up a seat, especially the seats which are ear-marked for elderly or disabled people. My second surprise was people tutted when I tried to squeeze down the carriage with a walking stick because I was inconveniencing them. Ho hum. Glad I wasn't in a wheel chair...
