I decide to write last night because for several reason but my amazement in how everyone, including myself, didn’t panic on the train last night even when an emergency alert was being sounded. I actually found out why there was an emergency today.

Trevor, one of my co-workers, and I had worked a little late last night. He had a meeting that was going to take him cross town on the Central line, which runs east/west. The northern line run North/South. They intersect at Bank tube station.

Trevor normally goes east on the line but he was meeting a candidate and had to go west to Holborn. He noticed a bag behind his head with a perfectly knotted tie on it. He asked a few people around him if it was their bag. They said no. He said he thought for a second and decided to report the bag to the underground authority.

This kind and concerned action caused the entire of Bank Station to be evacuated. Which is what our train pulled into the middle of. Trevor had left not more than five minutes before me that night from the office. Timing can be of life’s gems or not so sparkly features. Fortunately last night it was a gem. A light hearted tale.

I not only found irony in the fact that I have been meaning to write and I finally sat down to write, but was the given the link to conclude the story from last night. Unreal!

The English are not only tolerant but kind smart.
