Whenever I come to the end of tours, be it for half a day or for several

behind which I endeavour to make sound spontaneous and with feeling,
rather than just being well, an announcement. But people still leave
things, even after they've been told the tale of an incident many years
ago now, when someone left behind their artificial foot.......

Thanks. I appreciate it.
Don't mention it! :-)

I have a tendency to leave things behind,
especially when things aren't routine. The announcements help.

I recently left a much loved scarf on a train (I was very tired and had
flu so wasn't thinking).
I once left a much loved scarf dangling on some railings in the
multi-storey car park at Luton Airport Parkway Station. Over a week
later I returned and found it still there!
