I heard that you would have got bowled though as a flowerex was sitting in the station.

Yeah, I really shoulda gotten off at West Brompton, I hope it'll be double headed again some time soon.

West Brompton
Next time , Remember Use it in emergencies
If the Silverlink is delayed or something like that
