Grumpy Old Men. (2) (Ploughing)


Ploughing is a term I have given to the pulling of 2 wheeled suitcases behind you so taking up acres of space of footpath, or in this case, the St Pancras concourse. Travelling each day through three London main line terminals, Paddington, St Pancras and King's Cross (with the feed from Euston also adding to it) I see a lot of it.
So much so that you are literally falling over them. You get cut up by them as they trail behind their totally oblivious drivers. They run over your feet. They stop dead right in front of you which is awkward enough, but when you get somebody with 2, then watch out because they are coming through and the footpath is theirs!
So when you get a couple of them together, you might as well be on the praires of the mid-west at harvest time. Just look at the space these two are taking up and this is just after they did a 360 degree turn because they were going the wrong way. Just managed to get the camera out before I was sythed down and then get this quick shot in as they passed.
