The toy is worth far more to the kid than your wallet is to you.
A whole ten minutes, if that. Wow, feel the inconvenience. One whole lane of a motorway was closed for a few minutes. It's a wonder the FTSE didn't drop a million points.
Non argument.
There's a bit of difference between being stranded in Hong Kong for a week and being stuck on the M11 for fifteen minutes maximum, wouldn't you say?
The difference is so big, in fact, that the principle isn't even remotely the same.
Then you should have planned further ahead and not cut your journey so fine, then. You should plan for slight unexpected delays. If you lose something like that because of ten minutes then you'd lost it anyway.
Thousands indeed!
Inconvenience indeed!
Yes, of course.
I didn't realise you were a close family friend of this child.
What do you mean you're not? You obviously seem to know so much about her upbringing and her parents.
You mean the selflessness shown by the police in going out of their way to help someone, or the selfishness shown by the whingeing motorists in having to filter into two lanes for a whole ten minutes?
As NQA says, should people who ask directions be told to naff off? They're wasting police time too, they could be catching criminals donchaknow!
