6.15pm
You see a face in a crowd and they are heading towards you. This face is familiar to you and you know this person.
You just can't figure out where from or how...
You spend the next 75 seconds turning your memory storage space in your brain inside out as you scan through the filing cabinet of familiar faces.
School? Someone you know's mum? An old school friend thats now aged? A client you worked on? A sales assistant that's served you? A friend of a friend?
You can't think where you know them from or even what their actual name is but you 100% recognise their face and can even picture them in different clothes, In different places and with other people
Do you know why you don't know their name or how you know them?
They aren't your old school friend or client or friends mum or sales assistant or anyone you know on a personal basis because you only know them from watching TV or reading Magazines!! They are a famous face.
Ive just done exactly this at St Pancras tube station....and it's not the first time this year.
I'm running frantically through the rush hour of commuters when I spot a face in the crowd. My 75 seconds of frantic brain racking start.
I thought I'd cracked it- she was my hairdressing and wig making tutor from my college days!
That was until I got a little closer and she huffed at someone down the phone...Just like she does in Casualty when bossing people about on the ward!
This was not Nafeesa my college lecturer- this was Sunetra Sarker (plays Dr.Zoe Hanna)
So I quicker disguised waving hand into a hair adjustment manoeuvre and scurried on!
Peace out, A town
