I also love engaging people in conversation on trains. I don't know that I'd have taken them up on the offer of a walk home - unless it was dark. Just one question... Is it common to use the word "Chav" where you come from, or are you a Rom? I was just wondering. I'm a Rom from down under. Cheers Brittany K. You’re a girl after my own heart, Mitzi.

If this happened to me in Philly, I would have joined the conversation but said no. But London seems more laid back than here. Whatever you decide, you'll have grist for your next book. Good luck!
