Six or seven years ago, I was in a West End show for which the first two weeks of rehearsals took place daily near to South Bermondsey, before we moved into the theatre itself and this required me to take the Southern service via London Bridge.
Twice, I encountered an elderly woman in a maroon shawl who was telling people she was a fortune teller, and she had a little cat in a carrier that she took out and it sat down and clawed at the astroturf seat covering on the 455. She patted it while telling the man opposite about his star signs, and then I distinctly remember when she got off, she put the cat back in the carrier and said to it “We’ve done well Stiffany, the past is now the future.”
I’ve told a few people that, I know
@hexagon789 has definitely heard the story, but I’d love to know if anyone has encountered this woman.
