BEING a proprietor of a hotel in Alum Chine I pride myself on hospitality.
To that extent I went to Bournemouth Railway Station last week.
My guest, who is 91 years of age, was isolated and carrying suitcases.
There were barriers up and I asked at the ticket office for a platform ticket, only to be told that unless I was travelling I couldn’t go onto the platform.
I don’t think I looked like a bomber and everybody going through was not frisked.
What’s the point of these barriers?
To add insult to injury my guest had to go through the same ordeal at Waterloo and promptly collapsed, spending that night in hospital. Come on – help an old man or let me help him.
