Sometimes the world isn’t such an awful place.
When Londoner Ian K. Ellard wrote this on Twitter earlier today…
I was walking along the tube platform, preparing to board the tube train, listening to Ben Folds very loud, swinging a canvas bag…

…little were we to know that we would get the most heartwarming, “Wow, people really can be bang-on sometimes” story of the day.
Ian continued:
Nightmare. It goes on…
What would you do in that scenario? Keep it? Start eating then and there? Abandon it??
Well…
So Ian decided on a course of action…
Wait for it…
Ian collated his multi-tweet story into an easy-to-read Storify post.
He finished the story with:
If you work in St Paul’s and your boss is telling a story about a silly young man & a bag full of cake, please thank him for me.

If I ever find the man in this story, I will surely bake him a cake.

This sound man does deserve a cake! If you’re reading this mystery man, we’d love to have you and Ian over to the JOE offices for some cake and a chat. It’s on us, for making us smile on a grey Monday.
