@chrisopher I think
@AndyS mentioned Kings Cross in an earlier post (and
@Flowerpot another station), & I too recall a bad hypo that ended with me sitting against a pillar or glass wall on that vast smooth floor, being attended to by a kind man in uniform. I think he was railway staff rather than police and strangely enough, considering tomorrow is Valentines day, it was the day before Valentines Day then. This well meaning guy was either genuinely trying to chat me up despite my sweaty semi-conscious state, or was trying to make me feel better about my public humiliation by telling me he still found me attractive in this state.
He kept going on about me being there on my own when I should have a Valentine looking after me & reiterating how happy he'd be to be my Valentine. How he'd volunteer himself as he didn't have a Valentine. He even gave me chocolate to bring me round from the hypo as though it was a Valentines gift.
As I had no idea what day it was (Valentines day wasn't as big a deal where I grew up) this was very surprising to me, and I remember being surprised also that it was a man who was taking the day so seriously, but I was in no fit state to respond appropriately. I kept thanking him for his kindness but left for home wet and shivering as soon as I'd recovered enough. How's that for a positive hypo-on-a-first-date experience
@Heathenlass ?
Happy Valentines Day to you all!
