Just to add.
I did prevent someone bringing a surf board onto the train once! It was about 12 feet long!
Also someone else who wanted to use the DLR to transport a 3 seater sofa.
I didn't end up in the Daily Mail though!
Did you not know the railway did house removals? LOL! Down the years I've had people trying to bring a fridge, a massive TV - all sorts! I've seen 2 families attempting to move house having all their worldly goods on a luggage trolley - unbelievable!
Back to the original point, I completely agree - this isn't about discrimination, it's about a poorly made joke that was taken the wrong way, nothing more, nothing less.
