The second story concerns the Headmistress friend I mentioned above. We were not so long ago traveling together to London on an inter-city train. We were in the quiet carriage, both settling down to a well-deserved G&T, when all of a sudden two young ‘ladies’ , I would guess fresh in their first executive jobs sat down behind us. They were gabbing into their mobile phones like they were a new toy……..my friend, well I may be a mere man, but I needed no lessons on how to read her body language……..When they started on their second call …she got up approached them and in her best headmistress voice informed them that either they were unable to read .this was mobile switched off carriage…or they were just incredibly ignorant and insolent, they could take their pick, but whichever- turn those phones off now!!!. They did without demur.
