...or Myles goes in for a quick dump and when I arrive for a swiftly taken leak as a train is due in one minute, he tells me he wouldn't go in there for five minutes.

Joking apart, the help is much appreciated :)

I have a feeling Watford may be my least favourite station after today, but let's not jinx it!
