Wheely bad for your health

Plodding my way through Paddington station today and I think I've discovered a cunning conspiracy between the makers of sticky plasters, shoe scuff polish and the people that make rollerskate wheels.

Because no matter where I end up having to avoid hundreds of bloody mobile trip wires in the shape of the deadly and wayward wheeled suitcase.

Does anyone ever actually CARRY a suitcase or bag anymore because whenever I'm travelling anywhere these days all I ever do is end up having my shoes run over or being tripped up by the damn things.

They're the modern day, peace-time equivalent of a Vietcong booby trap, just waiting for some poor unsuspecting soul to walk across their deadly multi-coloured, multi-sized path and ensnare them in their weaving, wibbly-wobbly trail of disaster and destruction.
