Jean's anecdote 	
  
My story happened years ago when I was still at school. I was probably about fifteen or sixteen, and I was still living with my parents. They live out in a little village called Milford. 
  
And anyway, I used to go home by train and the station's one of those tiny country stations which hardly have any lights or anything. 
  
So I was going home from school and I was quite tired. It was in the winter so it was already dark as it gets dark about four in the afternoon in England in the winter. And I just fell asleep. 
  
After a while the train stopped suddenly and I woke up and realized the train had stopped and thought I'd better get out quickly before the train started moving again. 
  
So I jumped up, opened the door and jumped straight out and went aaaaagh! and fell straight down onto the track. 
  
Well, I climbed straight back up. Obviously I was really embarrassed. I'd hurt my knee a bit but I was OK, Stupidly, I thought I'd just got out the wrong side, because you know, you're in a bit of a daze when you just wake up. So  I walked over to the other side - of course everyone was watching me - and jumped out and did exactly the same thing again. 
  
It was so embarrassing. I just went aaaaggh! again and fell down the other side. 
  
I was too embarrassed to get back in again so I just started walking along the track to the station. Because of course, the train had stopped just outside the station for a signal or something. 
  
And when I got to the station, I got told off by the station master because it's illegal to walk along the track.
