A wee @ScotRail worker just passed me on the stairs in Central station & saw a penny on the ground. She stooped to pick it up & joyfully said “see a penny, pick it up, pass it on, you’ll have good luck” then gave it to me. Really warmed my heart. Merry Christmas ❤️

It’s @scotsquad Series 35. Decades of unrequited love have destroyed Charlie. He still does his job but with a visible weariness. Jane transferred a long time ago and married another more self assured cop. Charlie met him once & didn’t like him. His name? PC Jack McLaren...
