The gateline staff didn't seem too interested.


Last time I confronted a guy for squeezing through behind me he
threatened to stab me. The (Silverlink) "security" guard backed him up
shouting "What's it to do with you? How is it your business if he's
got a ticket?" at me.


If he was definitely a security guard, and the above is an accurate
portrayal of what he said, then I am surprised.


He was, it is and so was I.

Perhaps the security guard and the guy knew each other, or perhaps the
security guard has sussed out his ground and knew whom to leave alone
if he was after an easy life.


I got the impression that they knew each other.

Out of interest where did this happen?


Camden Road. Incidentally, when I appealed to the Silverlink employee
in the ticket office, he seemed terrified of the "security" man and
eventually lost all command of the English language in an effort to
make me go away.
