For the last couple of months at work, I was training a replacement, a
young woman just arrived from India. To get to the office, I had a 2km
walk from the station and one morning it turned out that I got off the
same train as my replacement.

We started walking together. I am 1.9m tall. She was about half my
height (and probably on about half my salary). It took all my effort to
walk slow enough for her to keep up with me. She said later that she had
never walked so fast in her life. (Never saw her at that station again.
Maybe she was avoiding me.)
