Now the problem is, at the moment, I can’t go up and down the Escalator and I intend on going to a Shop (when its quiet !!!)

Saturday 22nd of December, my partner then and I decided to go to London Borough Markets. I said let’s take a train to London Bridge, we took the car and there will be somewhere close to park it. But then Amy (his daughter, just married) and Ben decided to come as well and they decided we would go up in a car to the O2 and then take the ‘tube’ to London Bridge.

They did not know that I couldn’t use an escalator, as in the tube and hopefully there would be lifts !

I managed to sort out the tube, it has disabled platforms so it was alright. We went to the tube at the O2 and used a lift to get down and it was really busy, after all, it was Christmas ! It was funny in a way Ben and Amy went first, then we followed me on to the tube, we were cramped right in. And it was even more funny, because I held the bar overhead (my left hand). But the noise and everybody was swaying from side to side and my right arm just kept flopping from side to side as well, it was hilarious.

As we approached London Bridge, the tube stopped and everybody got out and we went and got a lift to take us to the top floor. Then we crossed over the road to the Markets.

We looked around for a couple of hours, as I say, it was Christmas ! But everyone was nice and then we went back, via the tube.

Again, now I have done it once – I am alright with doing it again.
