Incongrous
So I'm going to be a bit circumspect here, because it's somewhat intrusive, but nevertheless of interest to me.
As I've already mentioned, I was on a plane yesterday, and I was some combination of surprised and disappointed at one of the passengers who came wandering through the curtain from the posh bit at the front. Without naming name, it was a performer of some celebrity (not at the big Hollywood-style level, more at the British institution, been-around-forever level) with a reputation for being 'of the common man' and supporting various right-on causes at the rather more Proletarian end of the scale than the Virgin Atlantic Upper Class end.
Of course, there's not a thing to say he can't be a supporter of those causes and not travel in whatever manner he chooses, but it just made me feel a little odd about him. More about me than about him, really, I suppose.

Huh. Is it someone who recently had an audience with the Queen?
