Oh, poor you!
That bitch! Only some squash in 6h? That must have been not only scary, but I bet you were starving.

By the time I got home
which was about 4am, I was so hungry I felt faint. I hadn't had anything to eat for about 15 hours by that point, and only about 2 hours sleep.

Wow!
I hope you or your mum complained!

No...
they weren't under any obligation to feed me or even to get me home. I would have had to stay there all night - not that I could have done, as the passenger lounge wasn't open 24 hours - if they hadn't put a sleeper carriage on the mail train for me.

No, of course they didn't have to feed you
They didn't have to make you cry, either

To be honest, whilst one obviously has to feel sorry for the 14-year old berk's plight
That does tick a box for nearly every unpleasant stereotype every attributed to the Scottish.
