Waiting at Wimpy's....by Lung Farang

It was cold. It was dark. It was 5:30 in the morning. And we didn't care! We were young, rich, and flushed with the success of snatching two more for Lucifer from the jaws of IIT Janpur (and Sleeping Jerk). We piled into the taxis for the short journey to the train station and the horror began.

Two cars turned left. Two cars turned right. A plot? Where were the others being taken? We would call the police when we got to the station if the others didn't arrive. Fortunately, it was only a difference of opinion as to which was the best route that avoided the train gates (which spent a lot more time staying open for the trains than the cars). Nearly 30 minutes early for the train. Just enough time so that we could take it easy finding the platform and where to stand for our carriage.

210 minutes later the train arrived. The drivers who were waiting at the other end to pick us up would have to be informed. So Crofty called them and let them know we would be a bit late. They said they would wait at Wimpy's.
They called back 15 minutes later. Apparently Wimpy's had moved
