Clive Saffron, 47, of Birchwood Avenue, is kicking himself for failing to ask out the “blonde, petite” woman from Hatfield that he met on a late night train.

Clive was travelling home late on June 15, after going for some drinks after work and had to get the train home from King’s Cross instead of his usual route from Moorgate, which he rarely does.

Clive said: “My train was waiting for me at King’s Cross so I sat down and after a few seconds a lady sat down next to me and asked if the train was stopping at Alexandra Palace.

“We chatted and discussed how we were both going to Hatfield. Luckily she heard the announcement that there was an emergency bus from Alexandra Palace to Hatfield as the train we were on was no longer going straight through to Hatfield.”

The pair boarded the bus at Alexandra Palace and chatted all the way home to Hatfield station.

Clive said: “We were chatting about everything. She was showing me pictures from the Coldplay concert that she was on the way home from.

“After we got off the bus at Hatfield we carried on talking and I could tell she was waiting for me to say something. She kept lingering and when she got the sense that I wasn’t going to say anything she got in her car.

“I walked home kicking myself and I’m still kicking myself. She was clearly doing the traditional thing of waiting for the bloke to say something.”

Clive has posted two adverts in the Welwyn Hatfield Times since he walked away from the woman and is on a mission to find her.

He said: “I thoroughly enjoyed her company. I felt comfortable with her. I can’t speak for her but I really liked her and I’m really keen to find her.”
