On Monday I was sat in a hospital cafe in Manchester for a while and an oldish man had the same conversation with anyone who sat down near him. It was always about ‘our Vinnie’ (Vincent Company) and how he’d moved on to Belgium. He’d show the person photos of his grown up son posing with him. You could tell he was totally bereft - it was like complete hero worship.
Overheard any weird and wonderful conversations recently?
There was a woman on the train talking to her (presumably teenage) child and explaining why meeting her at the train station (as opposed to staying out all evening with their mates) was non-negotiable. Sounded pretty assertive. Unsure as to the outcome.
