All is not always as it seems...
« on: October 17, 2006, 09:37:06 AM »
I know not everyone who receives this will believe me, but I felt it was my responsibility to try anyway. Please give it some thought.

Yesterday I was on the Underground travelling on the Northern line. A man of Arabic-appearance got off the train and I noticed that he had left his bag behind. I grabbed the bag and ran after him, caught up with him at the top of the escalator and handed him back his bag. He was extremely grateful to me and reached into his bag which appeared to contain large bundles of banknotes. He offered me a reward, but I refused.

Then he looked round, made sure nobody was looking and said to me, "I can never repay your kindness, but I will try to with a word of advice for you. Stay away from Aberdeen Steak Houses." By this time I was feeling extremely uncomfortable but managed to whisper, "Is there going to be an attack?"

"No" he said, "I went there yesterday evening - the food was #$%* and the dessert selection is extremely limited."
