Nope. You've also jumped to some conclusions. I'll help you out a bit. I'm not a random young man (to this person), and his car isn't fast.JimBentley wrote:To be honest, I'm at a loss as to who this Jewish man who likes to offer lifts to random young men in his fast car could be.
It wasn't Alain de Botton was it?

I didn't say because I was hoping you would assume I'm not posting on here about being randomly groomed by a famous person. So it wasn't a huge deal that he offered me a lift, but I thought it good fodder for this guessing game. Nope, not Simon Schama.JimBentley wrote:So this person already knows you?

Pretty close with that assessment Philip, we're only occasional acquaintances really, but I think he does know that I wouldn't take a lift on the Sabbath, just it was already well into Saturday evening and it probably didn't occur to him that it was still the Sabbath. No, not Melvyn Hayes.Philip Wilson wrote:Ok, so he knows you but not well enough to know that you would refuse his offer of a lift because it was the Sabbath? Melvyn Hayes?

Can I do one? I was leaving Tesco in Redcar one day a few years back and passed by someone going in through the adjacent door as I was leaving. But who was it?
