I’ve just had of those train journeys you’re never going to forget The guy next to us starts talking. He says he wants to say something - and that we are free to ignore him after he finishes. Naturally people sitting around stare awkwardly at the floor, pretending not to hear

Please see this 🧵about The Girlfriends, podcast produced by @AnnaSinfield - first two episodes came out today …..
