I can't remember the actual quote now, but I recall when Christine went to see the SYW tour, she said that they were all so tired and that Stevie came up to her and said how tired she was, but Christine quoted Stevie as using a British phrase for being tired and that was odd. But then people speculated that either Chris was paraphrasing or that maybe Stevie did use the British term, since she had been around Brits since the seventies and was talking to one.

The term 'railway station' is rarely, if ever, used in the US to refer to the place where you get on the choo-choo..but it's used commonly in the UK, and, in a FM song penned by Stevie.

Meet me down by the TRAIN station.. I've been a-waiting.. I'm through waiting for youuuuuuuuu.

Actually, that's a Buckingham Nicks tune. Pre-dates their joining FM.

"Railway station" is commonly heard in old country songs though, that Stevie was inspired by.

I've read a few of the British articles where they quote her using British terms, it bothers me just in how it reads - it doesn't sound like her. Especially when they quote her as saying "Mum" when you know she is saying "Mom". Saying "knackered" or "holiday" and maybe some other slang phrase I can understand. It does sound a bit affected...

Carol Ann said they all said "punters," because Mick commonly used the term.
