Great story, Jim. You can meet interesting people on trains, and they can't get away from you. I know a woman who travelled with another girl east to west on the Orient Express in the 1980s. They got talking to a handsome young man who was on his own and spent the rest of the train trip with him. His name was David Bowie. This has been her dining-out story for decades.

Thank you, Barbara. David Bowie! You weren’t that young woman, were you?

I was not! But thanks for considering the possibility.
