From which platform does the train leave? What’s the new time for the meeting?

F: Excuse me, could you tell me which platform the 7 o’clock train leaves from?
M: Yes, it’s platform 10.
F: Thank you. Which end of the station is that?
M: The left-hand side, but you’d better get there 10 minutes earlier because there are a lot of people going.
F: OK. Thank you very much.

F: What time’s the MD back tomorrow?
M: Erm.. just after lunch, I think. Why?
F: Well, I’ve got a meeting tomorrow at a quarter past two, but I need to be here when tile MD arrives -- I’ll rearrange my meeting for three.
M: Well, Paul’s coming to that meeting, and he has to leave early.
F: OK, I’ll make it a quarter to three, then.
