I met my mum at Waterloo this evening to go for a walk along the river. We came to the London Eye and decided on the spur of the moment to go on it.
I’d never been on it in all those years. Amazingly, there was no queue at all. Perfect spontaneous idea!
Until we asked one of the guys on the gate how much it was. “£15 for adults, £12 for seniors” said the man. Not originally planning to take a flight on the eye, I’d only brought £25 with me.
“Ah,” I said “I didn’t bring enough money” turning to walk away.
“Come here” said the man, motioning to the gate he was opening “On you go. Enjoy yourselves”
Just like that. What what a wonderful gesture.
BA London Eye, if you’re reading this, that man made our evening. Thank you.
Wonderful – I hope karma returned his lovely gesture.
I’m sure it will – if it hasn’t already, Kris! It always does
