By 'mix', is the assumption that I'd socialise with people I don't know in one of these places? Just being in the same room isn't really mixing.

The subway and the DMV.

The subway for sure, but most places don't have one.

I dunno about the DMV. Sure there's going to be some mixing around but often times there are multiple locations within the same general socioeconomic region.

I remember getting my wife her drivers license, we went to the DMV closest by and it was a madhouse. Also the driving test was more difficult, as it was in the middle of a high traffic neighborhood. Eventually we went to the one in Napa valley and I must say the ambience was different, as was the scenic country driving test, which she passed.

I wonder if Hyacinth and Richard Bucket (pronounced Bouquet) frequented such venues?

There is nothing wrong with separate socioeconomic mixing facilities.

As long as the facilities are equal.

Where else would they have met Onslow?

I guess I’m thinking about NYC. It’s like the subway. A randomized slice of humanity.

Yes, of course.
