2 tales. One good jobsworth and another.
Liverpool Limestreet. Needed the loo. Attempted to put 30p to enter the toilet and carry bike over turnstile. The loo attendant said cyclists go free and let me in the disabled loo with bike and no charge. He wouldn't accept the 30p I offered him.
Premier Inn, Belfast, raining. Walked into reception with bike to book in. Receptionist said I'd need to put the bike in 'storage' as its wet and will leave skidmarks on the walls an dirty the floor. I suggest in jest that they should store my wet shoes too to keep the walls and floor clean. She then asked where my helmet was and told me about an idiot cyclist she'd seen almost crash into a lorry...
