If your experience of buggies and mothers has made you
hostile, think about what their experience is. You're
just got to stand around like the nice gentleman you are;
they've got a buggy and child to shift.

Unfortunately it's a vicious circle - in my day, when you took a buggy
on a bus folded, or not at all, they were lightweight and easy to fold.
Because they no longer need to be folded, they have become very much
larger and more unwieldy. So when they *do* need to be folded, as
sometimes happens, it's very much more difficult for the poor parent or
carer!
