I went off to a conference in Manchester on Monday, taking with me some important materials that had been left behind. To carry them, I borrowed one on those cases on wheels from the office.
The result is that I spent two days feeling like a losing contestant on The Apprentice.
I did not quite master the art of stopping abruptly to pull up the handle when I got off the train, but I am sure that with a bit more practice I could have made the person behind me trip over.
Heh :)
ReplyDeleteA friend of mine is a barrister and uses these things to transport masses of paper to court.
A few years ago, he thought his case was getting heavier, and assumed there was more paper to transport.
After a few weeks of struggling he looked at the workings of the bag to discover the wheels had broken off completely without him noticing.
He never was particularly mechanically minded.
