AAARRGGHH! The perils of being polite.

On the train to Manchester this morning (the 7:42am from Liverpool to Norwich).  As we enter Warrington the train gets packed and a woman asks if she can take the seat next to me.

"No problem!"  So I put my coat on the rack above the seat.

Get into Manchester - yup!  I forgot the coat. 

It may have got to Norwich but whether my wallet and ipod made it is another matter.  This meant that I couldn't go for an interview today, had to borrow cash off the current company to get home and had just £1 to spend on lunch.

The irony was I wasn't going to take the coat today and its been the only time I've put the wallet and ipod in the coat pocket.

Good grief.
