Chatting away amongst ourselves, waiting for the arrival of the seven seventeen when........
A loud SCREAM penetrated from behind us slicing through our conversation!
We systematically turned our heads to where we heard the scream........and there on the concrete ground was a woman. With contorted face, perhaps partly in agony and partly embarrassed as she was helped by a couple of commuters
Others, like ourselves, just looked on
All dignity out of the window, the injured woman struggles to get up, legs wide apart and grey knickers visible for her audience
My mother's advice as a young child came ringing through......
"Always make sure you have on clean decent pair of knickers on in case of an accident!"
