I'm actually happy he still does that! And his hair is looking a lot better!
And what a lucky guy that was!

Re: Cumberspotting - most recent photos
One more photo from this occassion - hair more visible now:
-----------------------------------
I cannot live without brainwork. What else is there to live for? Stand at the window there. Was there ever such a dreary, dismal, unprofitable world? See how the yellow fog swirls down the street and drifts across the dun-coloured houses. What could be more hopelessly prosaic and material? What is the use of having powers, Doctor, when one has no field upon which to exert them?

Some men can rock sloppy hair and a white T-shirt... Ben is one of those!

Re: Cumberspotting - most recent photos
Do the British rail lines still have private compartments in certain cars? I think of the old Beatles movie "A Hard Day's Night" that showed them in a semi-private little room with two bench seats, a window, a door to the outside hallway, shades that could be drawn.
This is a nice photo, who took these, does anyone know? And why is he making the "loser" sign? lol

Re: Cumberspotting - most recent photos
I saw a post on Tumblr suspecting that it's not the "loser" sign, but an "L" for a charity awareness thing (but I forget what it is now, but other people took photos doing it as well).
Clueing for looks.

Re: Cumberspotting - most recent photos
Oh and
1. No such thing as British Rail, now. It's all individual, private companies.
2. No, the only trains that have the kind of posh carriages described, would be like the royal train!
But if they'd asked us in our first class carriage, I'm sure we would have been happy to support the cancer charity, too...I knew nothing about it

10 years ago, my husband and I spotted American TV celeb Tom Bergeron at our local Olive Garden restaurant, lol That might be my one and only celebrity sighting close to home, and it's only because Tom comes from around here, used to live here, worked as a DJ at a radio station here about 45 years ago. Very cool to see someone famous just.... sitting there, though. And no, we didn't go over to him. He was pretending to hide behind a newspaper.

You could. If you're not too suprised.
Or you could ask for his coffee. 
Or talk about strange things like bananas.
