Katharine Whitehorn

I wouldn't much have liked to be the girl with the tartan hat.

She was trapped, close to the back, in the middle of her row and wearing a tartan hat. It wasn't much of a disguise. It was her who got the blame you see, and there was nothing she could do. Except maybe pull her hat abit lower and try to discreetly attract the wardens attention (which incidently turned out to be a pretty futile exercise). I was sure she could see her though, she just probably didn't know what to do.

It wasnt quite loud enough for everyone to realise what it was you see (a speaker in the ceiling playing some obscure radio station - who'd have guessed?!) So the poor girl underneath it, in her tartan hat, got the blame for being the smuggler of the offending IPOD or MP3 player.

Eventually, about 15 minutes in, an usher managed to solve the problem and silence could be heard in the back rows of the lecture hall. But still, I wouldn't much have liked to be the girl with the tartan hat.
