Actually got complimented tonight. Out of the blue. In London!

[swee'pea99]

First time in seven or eight years of daily commuting...suddenly registered he was talking to me. (This *never* happens in London.) 'Sorry?' I managed to mumble. 'You were going well fast.' sez he, and gives me a thumbs up. To my shame, I was so taken aback, I didn't manage even a monosyllabic response. Just looked surprised.

You might be even quicker on new wheels?

You'll be passing on a random compliment tomorrow then? On thursday someone in Aberdeen might get told she's got nice eyes.

If he was speaking to you, chances are he was from Up North - it does take time to become accustomed to new surroundings so don't think ill of him.
