Taunton to Paddington

Just had a complaint from the elderly lady sat opposite me that my earbuds are too noisy (and its a quiet carriage).

I apologised profusely and offered to turn the volume down.

She thanked me and then suggested “there is such a loud beat – are you some kind of hippy or something?”

Hilarity all around and another lady passenger comments “he hasn’t got enough hair to be a hippy.”

For the record – “Hard on” by DJ Saki.

So I’m neither a hippy nor an ageing rocker – what the hell am I if I’m 60 and I love house?
