Gobsmacked and mildly amused by this morning's adventure. I was waiting on one platform at the station when I heard some shouting, and after a while two blokes appeared on the opposite platform, shouting and bawling at one another. They were disagreeing over a dog, which had belonged to one and had barked at the other or something. When one of them helped himself to a big metal pole and started waving it at the other, I ticked them off and told them to pack it in or I would call the police. Immediately, like fighting siblings, they kind of sidled up to one another and agreed very vociferously that I should mind my own business and stay out of it. Then the bloke with the pole put the pole down and they both sort of apologised to one another and went their separate ways. I wonder if I settled them by giving them a common cause to unite against (uppity old woman...)
