HOW TO COMPLAIN AGAINST CARETAKER AND RAIL GUARD

HOW TO COMPLAIN AGAINST CARETAKER AND RAIL GUARD
There is no arguing with a man or woman who fold his arms and says with that air of utter finality.”Those are the rules am afraid”
They didn’t make the rules ,as they surely tell you two or three times,but ,by GOD,they ‘re going to stick to them.
What you have to do is to find a way around those rules.
You’ll be surprised how many loopholes you can find when you put your mind to it.The more idiotic the rule,the more the person who draw it up-and the more holes there are in it.
EXAMPLES:you are in a hurry to go away on holiday and you have arranged for a friend to collect the keys to your flat from the caretaker.But the caretaker says I’m sorry,but am not allowed to accept the responsibility of keys.it ‘s more than my life worth’
He is however permitted to take letters.
SOLUTION:Put the keys in an envelop and don,t tell him what it contains.
This was how Christopher ward over come an over zealous British Rail guard years back who saw him boarding a train a few years ago carrying a four –feet high mirror under his arm.
’I suppose you’ ve got a ticket for that,’said the guard.
‘But this is a luggage,surely MR ward protested.
‘luggage?’ said the guard,as if mr ward was demented.
‘That’s not luggage said the guard. ‘That is goods and as far as the Railway is concerned you have a child ‘s ticket for it.
MR ward knew he was speaking to a man deaf to reason.A quick flick through the British rail book of rules and regulations at the information office saved him paying £3.00 child’s fare for his mirror,however.
He wrapped the mirror in a Newspaper,ran a strip of tape around it-and changed it status from child to ‘accompanied luggage’.cost :one copy of The TIMES,one roll of sticky tape.CULLED FROM HOW TO COMPLAIN BY WARD 1974
