I hope this doesn't sound stalkerish, but when mrs factor and I were in a department store today I spotted someone who I felt pretty sure was another ABer based on a pic on here some time ago (I have a pretty good memory for faces). I felt it would be intrusive or embarrassing to approach them so we went on our way. I'm now wondering whether I should have 'tested the water' in some way.
What would others have done?

I would have to be fairly sure, but would say "are you (username)?". Do you want to post which store/town and see if anyone recognises it?

raising the trouser leg while singing the AB anthem usually works

Hi bednobs- I considered that (wasn't Debenhams by the way) but thought they might not see it or may not want to answer.
I decided an FAO name of person wasn't appropriate either.
Of course tit's a huge country and in reality it was probably not who I thought it was

Raising a trouser leg in certain towns/cities could mean something else. You'd have to be pretty quick with the anthem

To put you out of your misery ff, it wasn't me. So that's one off your list!

FF just do an FAO. You aren't invading their privacy. If they don't want to reply then they won't but at least if you do and they want to reply you will have your answer!
