  • This morning about 8:45 on the North side of London Bridge just before the lights at Lower Thames St.
    A bus pulled over with the hazards on, driver and police remonstrating with a cyclist who was wearing a London -> Edinburgh -> London jersey.

    Looked to be a calm but firm chat in all directions.

    Ah yes, that'll be me. Bus driver had just nearly wiped me out by pulling out of bus lane across both the other two lanes as I was passing. Serendipitously, he came to a halt immediately opposite the two PCs on duty on the bridge. So our subsequent dialogue attracted their attention. :-)

    One of the PCs was a bit of a plonker and kept coming out with comments like: "obviously there's been some kind of a misunderstanding between you and the bus driver...." Er, no. There's no misunderstanding; his driving was dangerous and I am only able to take part in this conversation because I have damned quick reactions. It was all pretty calm although the bus driver started shouting at me and pointing his finger at one point. Not a great start to the day.
