Brilliant! On the train to or from London I've heard a lawyer on the phone discussing her proposed courtroom strategy with her client; someone having a job interview; and someone complaining in extreme detail about their boss in an 40 minute conversation with a co-worker — all in crowded carriages with no attempt to quieten their voices! Of course I never looked round at them, so they sounded like radio plays.

“They sounded like radio plays” is so it - so much drama! Those are all cracking stories. I would have stayed on the train to keep listening.

Each came to a natural end on termination of the journey.

I was unable to focus post the “hashtag” drops.

You are correct in that the sentence about the dog / harbour / mangoes is indeed a perfect story. I would like to befriend that woman!

Loved this, prompted to deliberately sit in proximity to a likely type and carefully do my best ‘fly on the wall’ thing.

The vulgar privilege of the double bay princes/princesses would have me #gagging or #loling but definitely writing that shit down.
