Just came out of the tube tonight, and on passing the cashpoint, witnessed a queue of folk amused at the sight of a root vegetable escaping the shopping bag of the young woman at the ATM. Unseen by her, the swede rolled across the pavement towards the road until deftly tackled by an elderly lady who scooped it up, walked to the front, tapped the unwitting owner on the shoulder and offered it back. The young woman didn't assume that she was being attacked or robbed, but just turned and smiled, and gratefully accepted the gesture in the spirit that it was meant.
This is how London is, despite the paranoid suspicions of the tory provinces.
It is also a good advert for vegetable consumption as part of your five a day.
