Fittedsweats in the UK
I was in London for about 19 hours this week. I should have done a post from there but I did not. The strangest things was on the train back to Heathrow, two men stopped in my car and started talking about how one of them wasn't going to make his flight. The man insisted that he was going to make his flight because he'd checked-in online way before hand at BA.com. The conversation/argument went on for about a minute and a half before the BA.com stuff got out of hand and it turned out that the guys were actors paid to make us think about BA.com. They went to the next car and began again.
Two things I enjoyed:
1) I began eavesdropping because the conversation began with the annoying you are not gonna make your plane guy wanting to have a quick business meeting with the fellow who used BA.com. The fellow who used BA.com was vociferously against ever meeting with the shlub, trying to blow him off.
2) The guy in reality would not have made his plane. The Heathrow Express train stalled for about 20 minutes, throwing everyone off schedule. Or as the brits say SSSHEDJULE.
