I'm delivering a package in
Birmingham. I've had to take a train to get here, which is odd as I drive a van
which is parked fifteen miles away and the delivery is out of my jurisdiction. But
for some reason (perhaps there's a major traffic jam), I'm delivering to
Birmingham Road in Birmingham rather than Birmingham Road in anywhere else. I
complete the delivery and now have to get the next train back. I know that I
have to get to platform eleven but I can only see signs for platforms one
through nine. The entrance to the platforms are all tunnels with stairs leading
down them with a tiled red ceramic border surrounding each semi-circle. And
there are people out to get me. Wherever I walk, there's always people lounging
around who are trying to trip me up as I pass. Eventually, I work out that I
have to go down to the platforms and re-ascend onto a different concourse to
reach my platform, but there's still plenty of people hanging about on the
concourse who are trying to stick their ankles in front of me as I pass.
