TRAIN SPOTTER

Waiting for my London train this morning I was engaged in conversation by a train spotter. I’m not sure what it is that makes me so attractive to strange people but it happens all the time. This guy was actually quite interesting, telling me the provenance, age and performance potential of every train in the station.

I could tell that others on the platform breathed sighs of relief as I took the full force of his enthusiastic commentary. Actually, I found it quite interesting. Trains are not really my thing (I view them as mobile offices) but I now know more about them than I did before.

Never pass by an opportunity to learn. You cannot overload your brain!
