One morning 3 Glasgow lads and 3 Cockneys blokes were in a ticket queue at Glasgow Central train station heading to Euston for a Scotland - England International at Wembley.
The 3 Cockneys each bought a ticket and watched as the 3 Glaswegians bought just one ticket between them.
"How are the 3 of you going to travel on 1 ticket?" asked one of the Cockneys. "Ye huv tae watch and learn" answered one of the boys from the North.
When the 6 travelers boarded the train, the 3 Londoners sat down, but the 3 Northerners crammed into a toilet together and closed the door.
Shortly after the train set off the conductor came around to collect tickets. He knocked on the toilet door and said, "tickets please." The door opened just a crack and a single arm emerged with a ticket in hand. The Conductor took it and moved on into the next car.
The Southerners saw this happen and agreed it was quite a clever idea. Indeed, so clever that they decided to do the same thing on the return trip and save themselves some money.
That evening after the game, when they all got to Euston, the Cockney blokes bought a single ticket for the return trip, while to their astonishment, the 3 Glasgow lads didn't even buy 1 ticket.
"How are you going to travel without a ticket?" asked one of the perplexed Cockneys. "Och, ye huv gotty watch and learn", answered one of the Glaswegians
When they boarded the train the 3 Cockneys crammed themselves into a toilet and the 3 Glasgow lads crammed themselves into another toilet.
Shortly after the train began to move, one of the Glaswegians left their toilet and walked over to the Cockney's toilet. He knocked on the door and said "ticket please".
There's just no way on God's green earth to explain Scottish ingenuity!
