Would you prefer an impromptu date or gym session?
London commuters have a low tolerance for quirky antics on the Underground, Overground or generally everywhere.But one man is determined to get stiff upper lipped British folks smiling.
You might’ve seen videos of Elvin Mensah doing the rounds on social media after a video of him setting up a date on the train went viral. He soon came to be known as ‘That Train Date Guy’.He’s been up to all sorts on the Overground, including hanging his washing on a clothes horse, exercising on a treadmill and even shaving…using a whole sink he brought with him.His videos have delighted his 44,000-strong Insta followers and beyond, though some of his content has been criticised.
In the dinner date video, Elvin could be seen preparing a table with a rose and pouring wine for the female traveller sitting next to him. People sharing the video on social media said it the prank was a form of sexual harassment – but Elvin tells Metro.co.uk that the lady was happy to be in his video.Elvin told us: ‘Hundreds of thousands of women and several media pages on the internet didn’t see it as harassment. They got the joke.
‘The passengers on the train and the lady who was my “date” were evidently amused by the prank so that’s saying something.
