an announcement was made over the speakers in the carriage. ‘Hello. Just had a bit of problem . . . basically the wheels of the train that keep us on the tracks . . . they’ve fallen out . . . they’ve just fallen off . . . But don’t worry . . . the train is not on fire . . .’ None of us had even asked if the train was on fire! No one was worried about the train being on fire before he said it wasn’t on fire! As soon as he said we are not on fire, all I could think about was that we were definitely on fire!
