I was not planning to jump in on this discussion since I have not had the
necessity to pump very often in my now 19+ years of breastfeeding (no that is
not a typo ... just have had 9 kids in 19 years).  After reading Margery's
post, however, I began wondering if there's not more public pumping going on
than perhaps any of us realize.  In my limited pumping experience, for example,
I have had to pump in my airplane seat (because of an 11 hour flight to Japan)
and on the Bullet Train in Japan because of touring factories all day and on
the train was the only time we had to sit for a few minutes.  Surely more
experienced pumpers have had the necessity (which I think my be a key word
here) more than once to pump in a somewhat public place.  It might be fun to
here interesting places that others on the list have either pumped or heard of
people pumping.
