Overheard secretsWhen I was a barman, I stood by polishing a glass as a couple had a hushed argument two feet away about what they were going to do now she was pregnant. The bloke promised to leave his wife, but subsequent hushed arguments revealed that he did not. What have you overheard?

Trafalgar SquareI was standing among the pigeons by the famous fountain when I heard a chap on his mobile exclaim loudly "sorry darling, Trafalgar Square is really busy".
I cocked my head to one side and looked knowingly at him. He shrugged his shoulders and smiled.
When I say famous fountain, I am of course referring to the sundial fountain in Plymouth city centre.

I don't know if this is urban legend or notbut my old boss told me about a mate of his who was participating in a little extra-curricular activity and needed to convince the wife that he was stuck at the train station. He worked at the BBC and popped down to the sound effects department to see if he could get hold of the noise of a train station so that he could play it while making the call on his mobile. The sound effects guy said: "Sure, which station do you need - Paddington, Euston, King's Cross, London Bridge or Waterloo?"

There should be "an app for that".There probably is, but I'm not cool enough to know.
