2 buses waiting at the lights at the George's Circus end of London road, one going straight ahead to Waterloo Rd, the other turning right for Blackfriars. They are filling th road except for a 1 foot wide gap on the left. I wait behind the bus, deliberately blocking the gap
Oh what's this? Someone pushing at my left leg with their front wheel? Oh lovely, thanks so much? "Excuse me" you say? But where are you going, the gap is tiny? "The front" you say? But the bus will want to pass you and then stop at the bus stop just ahead, so it's actually better to be behind it and pass the bus while it's stopped. "oh, I'd never thought of that"
A lesson learned perhaps?
