I have misplaced my riding glasses and the only place I can think I put them down is the ticket counter at Northampton station this morning. They are a set of Giro Havik so I would like them back.
So I popped onto the internet thinking there would be a phone number for the station. Nope, just a national information line. So I phone that and it takes a few options and a decent wait to speak to a semi-human. He couldn't give me a number for Northampton station (no, not Nottingham, Northampton. That is in Northamptonshire, not Nottinghamshire...) so has given me a number for Euston. According to their answer machine they are open from 9am to 5pm on weekdays. But not at 9.45am when I rang them hoping they could put me in touch with the correct place.
Why oh why do they make it so difficult to speak to a real person at the location where, hopefully, my glasses are?
I guess my course of action now is to wait until I get there at 6pm tonight and the staff is already down to a skeleton crew with better things to do that help me.
Apologies for lack of random capital letters, even when miffed I find it hard to do.
