A Hat-Pin On The Overground
It’s strange what you see if you keep your eyes open.
I was travelling between Highbury & Islington and Dalston Junction stations, when I noticed a little round knob sticking out of the arm of the seat.
I pulled at it and it was a rather nice old-fashioned hat-pin.
All I can think is that it fell to the floor and someone found it. For safety they then stuck it into padding of the arm.
I handed it in at my destination and they seemed just as puzzled as I was.
But at least, it didn’t seem that it had done any damage.

C did on a windy day at Ascot. You could borrow pins from the Ladies loo.
This one wasn’t gold or silver, but it wasn’t a cheap plain one.
Didn’t one of Agathe Christie’s murdresses use a hat-pin?
I checked and it was the film Murder at the Gallop.
