Was on the train back from Birmingham to Scouseland yesterday after a meeting at about 20 past Six.
Plugged the iPod in and started to do some work when a huge black guy got on the train and sat diagonally opposite me. He was a big fella, with the build of either a rugby player or a boxer. But nobody I could immediately recognise so I didn't bat an eyelid.
About half way through the journey, the conductor says 'Are you xxx?' and as I had the iPod in all I heard was the 'Are you' bit. The guy nodded and smiled so the conductor handed him a pen and pad and got his autograph. I whipped out my earphones to listen to what was going on (I was bored okay!
) and they were talking about the Grand National as the bloke was travelling to Liverpool to watch it.
Soooooooooo, OcUK detectives. Who was this man?
I know he could be anyone but I thought someone might know. He spoke with a very posh accent and was huge with a round face and flat nose.
