Well actually my sainsbury bag for life with some toiletries in it

Got on the train at 1708 in Newport and got into G - train was buffet less as I may have alluded to elsewhere

After 10 minutes I realised I was in a meat locker so reluctantly moved to H

When I got off at Reading - realised I didnt have my carrier bag so went to G - looks like had been picked up for security reasons - however as there was no buffet I could not locate the TM(resolve) before the train was despatched and my toiletries zoomed on to paddington

There were only dregs left in them so I'm not overly bothered bu I wonder how much *I* would have to go out of mty way to retrieve them.

Rather inflammatory thread title.

Could your luggage carrier bag not have been handed in or nicked by one of your fellow meat locker occupants?

Firstly it was meant tongue in cheek

Secondly - there were about 1/2 applications left in each container hence my tongue in cheek attitude - I suspect they could have but I doubt anyone just goes around randomly liftling carrier bags

I more suspect the TM(resolve)/CH saw the carrier abandoned in G and took it away for safe keeping!

What you meant is a bit difficult for me to pick up on, just from the written word. That's why we have smileys..... Tongue Roll Eyes

Or maybe thought it was rubbish and threw it away.

Which is equally possible but since I deliberately put it between seat backs - you don't normally get rubbish abandoned there!

Rather inflammatory thread title.

Got our interest, though  Wink

As a customer service provider / manager (though not on the rails), we've had some fascinating discussions about how to tell what is rubbish that people get upset if you DON'T clear, and something that's still in use if you do.  It's suprisingly hard!

I think I wrote about this once before ...

I agree with Grahame and also when I saw the title and then noticed immediately that it was in the Lighter side I realised that it was going to be tongue in cheek.. So hopefully most other people did the same..

i know you meant it tongue in cheek but anyone could have picked it up or chucked it in bin,to be fair it is up to the passenger to look after belongings especially in these time of high security.

My bad.

Can we also have an apology for using that horrible trendy phrase? I absolutely hate it!  Wink
