Trains, GNER, haha!
I once conned GNER into paying for a taxi to take me from Motherwell to Oxenholme at a cost of £250. How is this a con? Well the train I was on was late enough to make the connection *almost* impossible but not quite... and I decided that emptying my bladder was more important. Then having missed the last train I went blubbing to the Station Manager and persuaded him it was their fault for not holding the train or having signs in the station or anything.

WTF?! How on Earth did you manage to pull that one off? Much kudos to the tulip.

well...
... I believe that sobbing "But I've nowhere to go!" and doing big eyes at the burly manager may have helped...

Sometimes women
know exactly how to manipulate men - the girl trick gets them everywhere!

Good work...

I bet if I'd undone a couple of buttons on my trousers it wouldn't have made a difference.

I bet it would. Possibly not the difference you wanted, though.

And possibly
a fine for indecent exposure...
