Waiting at baggage collection which i have found less than swift on my last two trips in Manchester (Andy Burnham) International Airport. Last time i was through immigration in 5 minutes and then waited 1 hour and 20 minutes for the Norvern handlers to deliver.
This time they came through, a sterling effort and i picked my bag up in only 50 minutes. As i stood there with 6 other people and only 4 items making their 20th trip round the escalator i decided to walk to the other side and discovered and my bag along with the lady's bag i'd been stood next to had been helpfully offloaded around a corner and masked by one of the pillars.
All thoughts of lost baggage dissipated and i was still able to make my train, despite the lack of (Andy Burham) travellator from the Departure level to Train Station which i understand this International Airport has been without for over 2 years - that's Sausages and his ilk for you.
Anyway, I even helped a pair of Goths that got on at Piccadilly and were confused by having seats they'd booked being in different rows and were negotiating with an elderly lady about swapping seats so they could sit together in a largely unbooked and empty carriage- i pointed out the red lights above the seats meant they were booked and that the green lights showing above a table of 4 adjacent to me meant they had the choice of sitting next to each other or opposite gazing lovingly into each others eye. They chose the former and i strongly suspect she had no kickers on as he used the table to to try to cover the fact his hand was between her legs for most of the journey.
Ahh those were the days.![]()
