There was one of those moments on the train home this evening. The type where you hear the wind blow and the tumble weed blowing down the aisles. After the tumble weed there was stifled laughter.

I have often found it amazing what people talk about on their mobiles in full carriages. I have heard boyfriends dumped, people screaming, legal action threatened and so on.

Today them man sitting next to me was talking and said quite loudly ‘I can’t really talk about this on the phone!’ Before anyone could take a breath he then shouted ‘I am a serious Shakesperian actor, I don’t care what they’re offering, I will not do a nude scene!’

Some things really should not be spoken about on the train, but good to see there are values out there still in the world of art!

But I am intrigued! What is it about mobile phones which helps people to ‘forget’ where they are and have quite intimate conversations in crowded train carriages which they probably ould not have if the person was sat opposite them?
