Another overheard conversation, approximately

'Actually, my name's not Norman, it's Gordon'
'You mean I've been calling you Norman for three days, and you're really called Gordon?'
'Yes'
'Sorry, Norman'.
Fact: someone made nettle soup, but I couldn't eat any. This is because when I was 8 I used to cook rhubarb and cauliflower soup over a fire in the pan McDad used to top up his lawnmower with oil, and the flavour of watery rhubarbandcauliflowerandoil soup is with me to this day.
