What's the time?

  On an overground station platform, two teenage girls who knew each other, one waiting to go east, the other waiting to go west.

One shouts across the tracks to the other, "Hope the train comes soon. Do you know what time it is?"

The other points, "There's a clock up there."

The time read 22:12.

The first girl replies, "Yeah, but I don't understand them sort of clocks!"

  Woman to her partner: "so when the pedestrian footpath goes over the road instead of under it, is that still an underpass?"

Partner (in deadpan voice): "No, I think that's called a bridge"
