Standing at the Piccadilly line platform at Kings Cross after missing a train by a split second.......or was it nano seconds? Who knows AND who cares........ I missed it!
Next station is Russell Square........ Next station is Holborn........ Oh! I forgot....... Standing room only
"Mind the gap please" A gently reminder is announced on the tannoy
My station is next....... Covent Garden yes!

"Ladies and Gentleman" begins the male voice on the tannoy
"There are one hundred and ninety three steps blah! blah! blah!...........
"The equivalent to a fifteen storey blah! blah! blah!.....
I think I'll take the lift thanks!
