The Answers
In case you’re wondering what the answers were, here they are:
- My ears.
- My shoe – it slipped off whilst I was boarding the train.
- Once in manual, then I gave up because I absolutely hated it. I returned to learning to drive years later but automatic only and sat my test a further three times, so four times altogether. Driving is most definitely not my favourite thing.
- Three – first year, third year and fourth year juniors.
- I don’t have a middle name.
- Diane Mannion Writing Services.
- It was about my late mother. It was back in August 2013 when I hadn’t had my WordPress blog long – here’s the link: https://dianewriting.wordpress.com/2013/08/01/why-i-dont-write-poetry-anymore/.
- A 20 year old boy and a 17 year old girl.
- Spain.
- Manchester.

Congratulations to Guy! And I am so impressed that the National Rail staff would delay a train to recover a shoe stuck on the track, for a lovely lady. That shows they realize how important shoes are for us women… 🙂
Thanks for your comment Martina. Oh but the shoe incident was so embarrassing – it’s stayed with me ever since. Imagine a train full of passengers peering out of the window to see what the delay was whilst I was on the platform balanced on one foot with a red face! It literally slipped off my foot as I was stepping onto the train so I had to step back off and shout for the guard.
Well done Guy! And you have really dinky ears – who’d have thought it!
Thanks for the comment Georgia. Yes, my ears are so small that when I had my hair cropped at school (back in the day when it was fashionable), I earned the nickname ‘pixie head’, haha! Nowadays, I keep my hair shoulder length.
