At least the police bothered to turn up, get assaulted, threatened on a train as a member of staff and they don’t show up
Probably they were shocked that staff had turned up rather than striking or of sick
But if the police received a call about such a matter then they’d reasonably assume it was a hoax? To take it seriously the trains would have to be running and between sickness, strikes, flooding and breakdowns they never are.
them bloody mainlanders ..
Yea send them back
Omg! An OVERNER, and from Salisbury to boot! Must’ve been my grandfather… oh, no, he died in 1944, quite a time before i appeared!!
