You are quite right. A driver on the 140 said thank you to me about six
months' ago.

I nearly died from the shock!

Mea Culpa!

I'm ever so sorry. The reason why London's bus drivers appear to be such
rude *******s is because of the enlightened policy of employing the disabled
by Red Ken's Transport For London. They are, quite obviously, deaf mutes.

I should have gathered this before, as I've often asked whether they've
received staff training in dealing with customers, who after all, pay their
wages.

I've never had a reply... Now I understand why.

Shame on me for not realising this before.

Mick.
