I hope i dont offend anyone by posting this but i almost witnessed something too awful to imagine today.
I was in Asda and a mum was on the travelator with a baby in a buggy. The person at the top stopped/got stuck and all the people behind with trollies loaded with food started backing up where nobody could get off and the baby in the buggy was in the middle of it all. Luckily someone hit the emergency stop in time but 10 seconds later and it would have been a different story.
Its really shaken me up and i burst into tears when i saw the baby was ok although very distressed.
I have taken a buggy on an escalator before (but never a travelator) but after what i saw today i never will again. That poor baby's and mum's screams will stay with me for a very long time. Truly distressing....
