Today I had to travel from Bromley South to Denmark Hill accompanied by my
13yr old grandson, who expressed concerns about safety. I reassured him and,
as far as Nunhead at least, all was well. There a middle aged drunk got on,
complete with beer can, and ambled down the carriage with an inane grin on
his face. He sat down, put his can in the walkway and emptied his pockets of
various items (one of which appeared to be a Freedom Pass) on the seat
opposite me, then mumbled to a man sitting near him, before rising,
collecting his bits and ambling off the train again at Peckham Rye, still
grinning. Not frightening, but still the sort of thing which causes concern.
