Well, I am originally from the UK, and I ALWAYS take something to do -
knitting, crochet, embroidery - when I am going to the doctor, dentist,
or, in the days when I had kids at home, also to their classes, games,
whathaveyou. I also take my work to ALL meetings and then, as I tell
people, at least SOMETHING gets accomplished.

children had to go for one thing or another, now us UK'ers don't do enough
knitting in public, although one of my friends takes a spinning wheel and
other friends with their wheels onto an old steam train

There are very few of those ...

Steam trains.

Probably even fewer spinners on them :-)

well I only know of the steam trains that go from Dorset right through to
Devon, and thus through Wilts, and I know that during the beginning of the
tourist season, you'll be met with spinning wheels on it, there and back
again all day long over a period of a month they do this..

They are nutters.....making yurts or yerts etc and all the other batty stuff
they do..LOL

I take a book. Always. The mags in such places are usually - how shall I put
it - not to my taste :-)

Spouse used to take his tatting, even took it to the pub. It proved a way of
attracting female attention but that wasn't the intention, he just isn't
sociable.

OY! One of the nicest families I know lives in a yurt on a Scottish mountain
with no mains services. She earns a living making felted hats and mitts and
proper rush hats, he adds to the income by making wooden spoons with lumps
of wood and an axe.

Some might think they're batty, I think that they've got it right - for
them. They are happy.

LOL And probably the only thing worthwhile!
