Yesterday me and the girlies all got our butts out of bed early to indulge in a pastime none of us have had much time for recently; shopping!
We all adjourned at the station at 9:30ish, bought our tickets and wondered over to the platform. Ayla was a bit concerned because she had been watching out train time slowly but surely be delayed minute by minute, but we all know what trains are like. Whilst we were giggling away in the waiting room, an announcement was made and Ayla laughed, saying she was sure she just heard that there had been a fatality.
The annoncement came again - Please could I have your attention. The 9:50 train to Norwich has been delayed because there has been a fatality on the line
We looked at the display and sure enough it said we were leaving at 10:30.
Then the stupid announcer kept saying it over and over again
There had been a fatality on the line
There had been a fatality on the line
There had been a fatality on the line
Yes ALRIGHT! We get it! Someone has shuffled off the platform and indeed this mortal life. We all understand, please stop saying it, its a little bit gross.
We watched the minutes tick by, and the ETA of our train get later and later.
Finally a nice train person (who I imaginatively decided was the Fat Controller) came and told us, yes someone clearly couldn’t face another Monday at work and so the the police were investigating but, don’t worry you’ll be able to get to your shops. He was a very nice man - top banana service :D
(despite Emma’s lack of subtlety
Wheres the fat controller gone?!
Urm…Em…behind you…
Oh…yes…)
But we did get there and buy some lovely things. Mostly from La Senza.
(is that a real french word *looks up*
No it isn’t, in-fact it is Italian for “without”…ehehehe…like, without clothes?)
On the train we all found ‘MR FLUFFY!!’ on our bluetooths (blueteeth?), waited until the man who we decided must be MR FLUFFY!! got off, discussed him and then rechecked those blueteeth, only to find he was still there. Apologies to him.
Lotsa Love
