Just to prove I don't make this all up - I received an email today thanks to the power of Google:
Dear Marion,
Sorry for eavesdropping but was sitting adjacent to you and the man who lives in Charlbury having left his wife and kids for a new lover (sorry again!). Found your conversation fascinating and to top it all you are a novelist! Even more fascinating. Had to remember your name and low and behold here you are. I got off at Reading and missed the end of your really interesting conversation (it was just getting to the juicy part as well). What a nice man - I thought it amazing that you and he should hit it off so well - will you be seeing him again? Pity that he's already left his wife for someone else or you never know. Good luck with the kids and the book.

Dear FCLT
I also always eavesdrop. And shamelessly record. It's like being in the publishing branch of the Stasi. Will hopefully be on the same train this Tuesday - look out for me! Say nothing.
Marion
