According to Heat,despite boasting about how much money he has,Craig Coates had to borrow his trainfare home from a stranger

That can happen - if you find yourself with no change or no wallet or no cash machine nearby. Poor Crai-aig, bet he was embarrassed! I normally try to check I have sufficient funds for the journey before I travel.

I can just picture him cashing in on his five minutes fame by blagging the money off this hapless stranger.Why didnt he buy a return?

I don't understand how it can happen to be honest. Surely adults leave their homes prepared, muggings excepted.

I hope Craig wrote down the name and address of his kind benefactor, train fares can be expensive.

Dont most people? I wouldnt dream of getting on a bus without the money to pay for a ticket. People would think I was two crackers short of a crazy foo!

The only exception to this rule would be if I was out for the night and had to stop at a cash point to pay the taxi driver on the way home, but that would be a rare occurence. And it would be in a taxi, that would be able to take me somewhere to get cash from, that I would be paying at the end of my journey anyway.

It doesent mean he is skint completely, just no change at that time.

If he was catching a train you don't need change, normally notes or a card is what you need.

Even if you're catching the underground you can get a ticket if you only have notes or a credit/debit card.

Hang on.

"According to heat"

I missed that bit.


Thats like "according to heat, Cameron went to a nightclub and got in a fight with a bouncer over the price of a dram and knocked his bow tie a bit asquiff".

I havent bought heat since I said I was stopping, so was this in the spotted section or elsewhere? If its in spotted, then I suspect its all based on user submissions and *could* theoretically be someone having a larf at Craigs expense.

That said. You really should take enough money for your journey. Its important. It saves you walking from a strange place you dont recognise for hours.

was it a train to Newcastle?

I am almost certain it was not a second class return from Dottingham.

tunes help you breathe more easily.....

Ahh yes, that sounded like a good night and according to a source close to Cameron, the whisky was aged 10 years.

and had done so gracefully, as I understand it

And at last account, somebody in HEAT was accusing me of complaining about the price of drink in Indigo in Aberdeen, a place where I generally am quite flabbergasted at the generosity of the establishment.

If I met Makosi on the southbound platform...here in leafy Hertfordshire..I'd gladly pay for her...a one way ticket - at least all the way to Calais.

Calrissian: very generous at times.
