Well, Guys, I don't think this is exactly the sort of reply you are hoping for:
I had been previously working on the buildings, and felt a bit daft standing on the platform as a passenger train drew up alongside me. Me, wearing a hat and uniform. including silver buttoned waistcoat. Self consciously, I started marching alongside the train, kicking at pebbles. My one size too large shoe flew off and over the bridge. The passengers were roaring with laughter, some of them winding down their windows to get a better view of me hopping around on one foot.
Fortunately, the shoe did not land on a passing lorry, but was found by one of the staff, who returned it to me. He too, was having a good laugh. It may add to your amusement to know that I was, and am, about five foot three.
