Why I was late"On the way to the station, I got hit by a bat, it almost took my head clean off. Then the machine would not accept my ticket and the guy at the gate didn't think I looked like the photo on my travel card. So I had to go home and get my passport.
Then the train was 45 minutes late to the station because of the dangerous badger threat at Carpenters Park.
When I was on the train it took and hour and a half to get past the biscuit factory because the driver was really fat.
Then there was a delay stopping at the station because the train in front had heard we were coming and decided to play a practical joke with a rubber shoe on the track.
That is why I couldn't get here on time today."
What's your best excuse?

CampingTravelling at high speed one day, my radio bleeped into life and the signaller made the internationally recognised indication that something was very wrong...
"Hello Driver of Train **** - can you come to a stand pretty quick please!"
Slamming on the emergency brake (and hearing the passengers coffee hit the bulkhead behing the drivers cab) I managed to stop and be informed by a concerned by no doubt p*ssing himself signalman that someone had pitched a tent on the line ahead.
So apologies for the 20 minute delay while me and the guard dismantled the tent, packed it all away and waited for the transport police to collect the owner's belongings....
