I obviously would have managed and made it home either way, but without him doing that it would have been hard. I have a lot of stories like this especially from 10ish years ago. Many disagree with me but I think a decade of Tory BS, cuts, etc., has affected our vibe in London.

In the present I have only more upsetting stories of being stalkers or racists. These things happened back then too but there were also stories of nicer things and certainly fewer stabbings.

Also part of why I have fallen out of love with London.

Love this story.

Something similar happened to me once. I miss the last train and the station was closed. A porter not only let me use the facilities he directed me to affordable accommodation (that’s another story). When I arrived for the 1st train he spotted me, check I was ok and offered tea.

Oh, sweet!

I perceive Londoners to be very helpful. Whenever I carry heavy luggage there is someone who offers to help me and whenever I see someone carry a heavy bag I offer them help
-
Same for Paris (which can be very... uncharming otherwise) but not Berlin. I had started to wonder whether luggage was special, but dear Berlin showed me I was wrong. ;)
-
Berliners are helpful, but they are not very friendly. they kind of take pride in it. they also hate tourists. and bavarians or swabians.
-
Ha maybe all the students near campus were not Berliners then because nobody cared about me obviously struggling...
-
My impression of Berlin is that so many internationals live there, that it's a friendly place. But I've only been once - next time hopefully in September to hear
@McLNeuro speak -
Ha but beware,
@maria_ndrnh is right: you do recognize the real Berliner by the charming unfriendliness. It's a whole thing. Also yay, hope the September trip works out#jelly -
My impression of Berlin is they are cold and very distant compared to London. I have only been twice though!
