Homeward Bound

Returning from a meeting in Manchester, I went to the middle door of my train when it reached Littleborough (Alight here for Hollingworth Lake and the Rochdale Canal, says the new sign, whcih is ironic because now one out of every three trains fails to stop there).

The door would not open and once I had come to terms with the fact, I rushed to the back of the train, only just catching the attention of the conductor before the train moved off. If I had not reached him in time, the next stop would have been Todmorden.

Now, if that had been the last train and I had been for a pint …and not reached him in time…what would have been the chances of convincing Mrs S of what had really happened?????
