Anecdote
I encountered an MP earlier this week at the university.
Colchester's MP is Prof. Pam Cox of the Department of Sociology and Criminology. I was walking to a lecture and went through a door she'd just used. She held it open for me. I said thanks and went through it myself.
This was in a stair well in the domain of the Law Department. I teach in a room there, because it's one of the few on campus that can seat 60+ students yet has flat tables. I don't know why Pam Cox MP was there, but presumably it wasn't because she was lost (students, on the other hand...).
She isn't my MP, by the way. I may live only 3 miles from the centre of Colchester, but the constituency my village is in goes out of its way to be not Colchester.
My brushes with the mighty continue.
