A train friend

I met up with Mabel Elizabeth on Saturday in Huddersfield, West Yorkshire; we took a slow bus out to Holmfirth enjoying the views and eventually returned to our meeting place to have lunch.

This story is not about Mabel Elizabeth and what we did ........

I had booked a seat on the train back to North Yorkshire but the gentleman who was on the next seat appeared to be drunk and was shouting about sliced bread and telephone boxes.  I therefore sat elsewhere but I was concerned about a young lady who was sat near the sliced bread gentleman so I beckoned her to come and sit next to me - all well and good up to now!

"Hello, I am Susan" she said ......... "I am a prostitute" - there was a very long pause and I replied "my name is Eunice and I am not a prostitute".  I was sorely tempted to ask about her working hours and  pension scheme but had to stop myself laughing, there was no more conversation until I got off to change trains at York when she said goodbye.

She was wearing a stunning pair of red patent leather shoes.
