== A private apology == 

 Some time ago, when I was under considerable pressure here, I strongly implied that I had spotted you outside my house, peering in through me. On reading the Sunday Times today, I was surprised to find that it contained a photograph of you (along with a very positive article) and unless you have recently lost about thirty kilograms and thirty years, the woman I saw cannot have been you. 

 I am a suspicious old curmudgeon, and I apologise unreservedly for any insinuation that you were stalking me, and for the pain and embarrassment I undoubtedly caused you. I am happy to repeat this in any wikipublic place you nominate.
