Home water cooler chat: Tube stories

“You will not believe what I’ve just witnessed” gasped Sophie as she ran into work on Monday. “WHAT?!”, cried we, thinking already that this was definitely going to be good, and almost certainly going to make the cut for our home water cooler chat blog series. “Well”, she continued, “I was on the tube, and these two guys were running up and down the carriage with buckets, collecting for St. George’s hospital in Tooting. Oh, and they were wearing nurses uniforms. You know, the one’s you get in fancy dress shops”. Blimey, we said, that sounds like something to set you up for the week.
Not to be outdone, Dan piped up; “I got on the tube just before Christmas last year, and saw these four guys dressed as Santa. I thought they were obviously on their way to a fancy dress party, until they suddenly pulled out a load of instruments and struck up ‘Jingle Bells’. It was awesome!”.
