Hi all,

There seemed to be about a hundred buses in Notting Hill last Sunday,
blocking both sides of (I think) Westbourne Grove. They seemed to be all
red, and there were no cars between them, just solid bus. The police had
closed off the road. What was all that about?

Nah - the bus drivers are having their own version of Critical Mass, innit.

No, they were meeting to discuss the latest snarly expressions they can give
to passengers, the newest verbal insults and which are the best manoeuvres
to use to fling standing passengers to the floor.

Or perhaps they were meeting to discuss how best to deal with passengers
who get on and refuse to pay, threatening to punch the drivers' lights out
if they dare ask them to.

We need more of that in this country

I've never done, or even dreamed of doing, any such thing, yet I've been
insulted, ignored and scowled at - and slung to the floor by abysmal
driving - by countless bus drivers.
