Cheeky Mick, cheeky.


But seriously, I do think it's cynical. Why in case the bus driver "forgets" to hand it in, rather than in case anyone was wondering where they'd lost it? If the passenger managed to hand it in without stealing it, why wouldn't the driver?


Maybe I'm utterly naive...

Also, many many years ago the BBC got researchers to hand in "lost" purses and wallets at various bus/train stations. Subsequently, a second lot of researchers were dispatched to then claim the "lost" property. Result? About two-thirds of researchers were told that nothing had been handed in! This makes neilson99's (thoughtful) decision to post here appropriate. Sadly it also indicates the sort of world we live in nowadays.

Cynical? Moi? Songs of Innocence and Experience.


Hopefully the driver did the decent thing. Irrespective of that, there maybe a purse-less young (or old or middle aged, I've clearly already generalised too much here tonight already) who is wondering where she (or perhaps he even) might have mislaid it, which was really the point of my post...

    • I would love something like this..I remember the one where Gails is now..It had some bric a brac furniture and 2nd hand clothes, I don't remeber the Oyster bar. The issue with the one on Zenoria St-And I speak as a long time habitué of Portobello, Kensington Market, Alfies,Spitalfields,Covent Garden (back when it had a decent vintage market on Mondays in the 80's and Early 90's) ..Was that a lot of the stuff they sold looked a bit meh..like a bad car boot fair. I also remember when we first moved here a small indoor market on the corner of North X road and Felbrigg rd that had bric a brac and bits of furniture..That one had some good stuff. I think the secret is in having a good mix of stalls selling well curated pieces at decent prices...It would also be good to have a few tables and rails available to rent for one-off sellers (car boot style) by application. When I lived in Notting Hill I used to do Portobello under the flyover a couple of times a year and made really decent money because people tended to go there on sundays for the Casual stallholders rather the same dealers selling the same stuff.
