A young man editing

An evening ago we were about two minutes from arrival into Colchester and I noticed the departure crowd had entered my editing suite aka the floor outside the toilet. I was fully aware of the train's progress past the tragic overly developed Mile End when suddenly a women learnt forward and pugnaciously addressed me with "excuse me we want to get off". Before she had even delivered her words I could sense she was uneasy with my being on the floor so I had a pre recorded response ready and as sharp as a freshly sharpened pencil I instantly hit back with "its ok I'm getting out too" - sure enough I was on my feet and had opened the door of the train with plenty of time to spare....

An interesting week in which I noted being described as a 'young man' by multiple people - mainly the train ticket inspectors but a few other randoms as well. Odd. Spent Friday evening at the Colchester Roman Feast - in aide of the Save the Circus Fund:

Just finished a day long shooting in Wandsworth, for the Conservatives. Fantastic part of London.
