bright and modern, but when we came out, we found we were in a dark area of car parks and bus stations. We didn’t see that taxi space anywhere, so we asked an old man.
However, he didn’t speak English. Suddenly a big, friendly man came up to us and said, “Give me your cases. I’ll take them to the taxi space for you.” I told him our cases
were not heavy and we could take them, too. But he just picked up my wife’s case and told us to follow him.
When we reached the taxi space, he put the cases down and asked me to give hime ten pounds. I was very surprised. Ten pounds seemed very funny for just walking a hundred
yards with one not very heavy case. But I was too tired and I didn’t want to argue. I took out my wallet. However, I only had a fifty-pound note and I told him so. He said, “No
problem. Give me the note and I will ask a taxi driver the change it for you.” He took my note and disappeared round the corner. And of course, he never came back.
