So just what is the correct thing to do if you're out having breakfast one morning and you look at the lady on the next table and you think you know who she is on the forum?

Do you keep quiet or do you go across and introduce yourself?

It's a quintessentially modern dilemma but generally it depends if you are in your home or theirs.

If the lady had bad bedhead then it was me, if I was sure then I would say "you may think I'm mad but are you that lady off BE". Just had a thought Dazzle, why not say what day it was and where then the lady may pick up on it. or as sojohn said PM.
