I saw a woman once with three huge shopping bags plus a suitcase. She was struggling to hold a coffee cup. She spotted the Left Luggage sign and literally ran to it, laughing. She came back empty-handed and did a little dance. True story.
Another time, a dad stored a huge pushchair and all the baby gear. He and his wife walked around like teenagers again. They even stood still to look at a map without arguing. That is the kind of power this service has.
So next time you find yourself at New Street with a heavy bag, remember: you have a choice. You don’t have to suffer. The storage is right there, waiting to set you free. Go on, treat your shoulders to a day off. They have been working hard.
And the next time you see someone rolling a giant suitcase through the food court, give them a knowing smile. You know the secret. You know about the locker.
