A new way to waste your time

In which Doris may have been inspired by Frank Muir and Denis Norden.

Our legendary and beloved reader(s) may be inspired to join in with this:

I was planning to do a research project on the 1906 train crash at Salisbury and my sponsor asked for a letter from Salisbury station printed on letterheaded paper to confirm that they had no objections.

I went down to the ticket office and spoke to a very nice gentleman there, who said that I needed to get the station master, or someone of an equivalently senior grade, to write the letter.  The only problem was those people could be a bit tricky to pin down.  They have an office in the main building, but also they have times when they need to be in the sidings, in the signal box etc.  So I would need to find one of them when they were properly sitting working in the office rather than when they were just about to leave to go to one of their other locations.  And his other tip was that I should check with anyone in that office that there actually is some letterhead paper available, so that the letter could be printed immediately when the right person was there.

Ah I see, I replied.

I need to find someone with the station of the station master stationary at his station station with the station stationery.
