I’m on the train. I just laughed so loud at the clementine/mandarine/satsuma etc bit that I was shot a look. The ferocity of a late night train quiet carriage!

People can be quite militant in the quiet carriage. You expect them to all be sweet, shy, tender introverts but they often seem very angry at the tiniest of noises. I'm still glad they exist though. And sorry for making you laugh! (Obviously I'm not sorry, I'm thrilled.)
