Train to Manchester

The man took from his basket several tinfoil wraps and lined them one after other, covering the four-person table. The woman on the other side of the corridor was lining up her table with drinks.
'Does anybody want a sandwich?' He asked. 'Ham and coleslaw? Tomato and cheese? Sausage rolls?'
'What about drinks?' She asked. 'I brought gin and tonics, beers, some wine...' All around them, their friends mixed and matched as they pleased.
'Look at that!' My elderly companion said, stretching so she could see over my seat. 'How delightful! It's like a picnic on a train. Ooh, but it's awful early to be drinking isn't it?'
