Wheel Me Out


One of the new ubiquities of tube travel in London, is the wheeled suitcase. People emerge from trains, assemble their wheels behind them, then trundle off together resembling Duracell bunnies pulling their batteries behind them as though they are an essential part of forward motion. 

Which is fine.

Except people pulling the things do not realise that they do not pull them directly behind themselves, but off to one side. This makes the total package two people wide, only the puller does not realise this. Clattered ankles [usually belonging to non case pulling folk] result.
