Mal

Where do I begin?

- Responsible for the premature demise of the Routemaster;
- Responsible for introducing the most idiotically unsuited form of
transport ever devised for London's narrow and idiosyncratic streets:
Bendbuses;
- Someone who is a sucker for any "flavour of the month"
pressure-group, such as the "disabled" lobby
- an inability to see anyone else's point of view once his mind is made
up (i.e. no magnanimity whatsoever);
- an arrogance that results in rude and petulant behaviour towards
those with whom he takes issue;
- Someone who is completely out-of-touch with ordinary travellers;
- Someone who seems to idolise Ken Livingstone (That ALONE makes his
wholly unsuited to public service).

And I'm sure that others can add to this list.

Is anybody giving odds on how long the Finance Director stays?
