true story
Have you heard the one about the lady who went to Covent Garden and 'sang along' with Madame Butterfly?

No catch.this was true.
The elderly lady was quietly asked to refrain from singing along as some people were tutting.or shushing.
She agreed - but hummed instead!
. During the first interval 'they' whoever 'they' were, had another word with her. and she was quiet afterwards although she said quite loudly that she didnt see any notices to say that no-one could join in and that in Italy nobody minded
My friend was there and thought it was really funny.
Iwish I'd been there.

Next Train's Gone!
I saw AIDA in the Colosseum at Verona a few years back, and people minded at the slightest noise! If you coughed you had 20,000 people glaring at you.

These people think no one else has a mobile
I love it when I' m on a train and someone is on their phone (except when I'm reading, and then I glare) and I'm listening to these usually loud inane conversations..
I have a little smile inside and maybe the others in the carriage do too, when we are
told 'I'm just going through the tunnel-- passing a station - have a guess where I went last night--and oh yeah and guess what I did and what do you think she said to me when I fell off the bridge -etc, etc'
I always listen into other peoples conversations especially the odd snippets when you wonder what they are on about.
(what did she say and why did he fall off the bridge)
One interesting bit I heard on the bus ages ago and I never found out about
"that damn bird - and when he found it he put it in the dog kennel, and in the morning it had gone and she went crazy"
