Where'd the time come from..?

caddymanThis morning I seem to have travelled through a time slip, or time warp, or worm hole. Until I got to Victoria, I didn’t encounter a single tourist dragging a wheelie trolley, though there was a bloke on the tube with very hairy arms who looked a bit like that bloke in Love Actually who can’t get a date and decides to emigrate. I doubt these facts are related, but it was worth mentioning.
Anyway, despite leaving The Carpathia a few minutes late, I got into the office fifteen minutes early. I make that door to door, via the Northern and Victoria Lines in thirty-five minutes. This is a new record: I have never managed to get into Victoria that quickly from Totteridge and Whetstone before, even if we discount the walk at either end.
Mulder used to pile out of his car and spray paint a large ‘X’ on the road whenever he encountered an instance of ‘time loss’ in the X-Files. What should you paint on a train platform to indicate ‘time gain’?
My watch seems to be okay. Maybe I misread it on the way out? Or maybe…
