alnitak. The typos are almost as amusing as the story itself.
Made me chuckle at the dumbness of our trans atlantic fiendsFurther discussion on the list considered possible responses. The first was to counter-sue for damage to the wall and trolley. Much better was the suggestion that the injured party prove his magical abilities and show his ticket for the Hogwarts Express - and even that's not necessarily sufficient for the barrier to open - c.f. Chamber of Secrets.So someone I know works for a company that does property management for train stations. One of the managers has had to go to a meeting concerning Network Rail being sued. Apparently a tourist family from ole US of A went to Kings X to get a photo taken between platforms 9 and 10 where there's a spiffy blue plaque about the Hogwarts Express leaving from platform 9 3/4. So their son grabs a trolley and runs straight at the wall with the predicatble result of going arse over tit and doing himself an injury.
Predictably NW are being sued for not having a sign up saying that it's a brick wall not the entrance to a fictional land.
When Bubba grows up and can do something even dumber, who reckons he's a future winner of the Darwin Awards?
