Fell asleep on train from London to Crowborough after a fine evening of beer, and quite possibly whisky.
Woke up, realised the train was stationary & looked out to see that we were at Crowborough.
Sprinted (probable zig-zag involved) for door, just made it.
Slightly surprised not to be on usual platform, but not bothered at late o'clock.
Also very pleased, except that wife not there to meet me as promised.
This 4" of snow and lack of coat was causing alarm, as there was no one else at the station and home was three miles away.
Phoned home, somewhat cross. Was massively out-crossed by incandescent wife, which seemed odd - until she explained that she'd watched the last night of the night depart for Brighton without me alighting.
Turns out the mystery of the wrong platform was because I woke up on the way back to London..
Alt: Fairly happy, would be even better if I could have typed this on my computer, but that would require an end to the power cut... Grr
