Toxy should have said "look after" not "look over". If you say "look over" it gives the impression that somebody has asked you to peruse, or at least take a glance at some kind of document (or whatever) for them, as opposed to guarding their belongings while they deal with, let's say, what will surely be a day ruining trip to the restroom.

Cheers. That was a typo.
Next time I make a thread, I will be sure to give it a proper proofread. I was occupied when I posted this thread.
