07:17.........Sat next to a middle-aged bespectacled man tapping away on his Blackberry..........well he was. He's now reading the 'I' newspaper
Opposite me is a male train buddy and beside him is............a vacant seat
Yes! You heard right, a rare sight these days!
There are only two other train buddies; my namesake and our honorary female buddy, the good doctor
We chat for a while before doing our own thing, some tapping on their mobiles, one reading a book by Peter James 'Read like you' I think its called, another reading the free 'Metro' newspaper
