Overheard I

Two men board the train and stand behind me. They are halfway through a conversation:

'So what did Clare think?

'Clare was bell ringing. So I didn't want to 'phone her because she wouldn't hear.'

'Yeah, it is quite loud.'

Also, Clare wouldn't have been able to answer the phone or she would have had to put down her bells and cause chaos amongst the rest of the bell ringers.

Good point. I bow to your superior knowledge of such matters.

Thanks for dropping by!

For a moment I thought you were reporting some latest crime of management-speak, 'bell ringing' being perhaps a distant cousin of 'running it up the flagpole' or 'flying a kite'. Any takers?! Feel free to invent your own meaning.

Now that would be excruciating it it were true, but I think Clare was genuinely out ringing church bells.
