Eridge Station – 12th July 2021
It’s been over a year, since I went to Eridge station, so I thought I’d go again.
Note.
- The station seems to have moved on.
- The steps have had a makeover.
- It appears that some painting has been done.
- All Southern trains call in Platform 1, which is in the Western side of the tracks.
A lift will be installed on that side, with a slope on the heritage line side.
I’m fairly certain if they get the marketing right, families will pay to go to Eridge station for a day on the Spa Heritage Railway.
Have Any Readers Of This Blog Faced a Situation, Where They Had To Win?
From the age of ten, I was seriously bullied at both Primary School and my Grammar School.
The bullying cumulated at the age of fourteen, when the worst of the school bullies broke my left humerus. It wasn’t one bit funny and even a couple of ,months ago, I ended up in hospital, because my humerus started playing up. I wrote about it in A Mysterious Attack On My Body.
The Usher At My wedding to C, who was a Metropolitan Police Constable did something positive.
He showed me how to break away from an attacker and hopefully do some quick damage.
Certainly his advice worked, when a thief in Naples tried to take my Rolex.
He was heavier than I am and I forced him to run off, after I heard something snap in his hand.
When I got back to Suffolk, I was seen by the locum at the GP’s surgery.
He was a large rugby-playing Scot called Donald from the Isle of Skye, who had played prop forward for the island.
My only injury was a few stitches in the top of my head and his diagnosis was that I’d live.
So far he has been proved right, but I do wonder, if the severe blow to the head contributed to my history of strokes since.
The long arm and methods of the Metropolitan Police can reach a long way!
As to my attacker, I wonder how his broken hand curbed his criminality.
I now am much more careful and haven’t suffered another attack despite visiting Naples and other dangerous places. since.
But everybody must be prepared for an attack. surprise or otherwise.
I wonder if [ast night those three footballers were expecting an attack from racists after the match as they had seen it so many times before.
So the worry made them miss the penalties.
