Buses
We've got a local bus driver who likes to pull away slowly just to see how far old ladies with shopping trollies will chase him down the road. By popular demand - tell us your thrilling bus anecdotes.
Thanks to glued eel for the suggestion

A previous job
In the 70's I was an inspector (I guess I'd be classed as a middle manager nowadys) for the "Luxton & District Traction Company" (long cosigned to history's scrap heap). I like to think I was a firm but fair Inspector. Most of my drivers and clippys (as conductors were called) were fine; I say most, I had one pair who were the most workshy blokes you ever did meet! Always late, not doing their routes properly (I think the clippy had many lady friends he visited when he was supposed to be working!) they were a liability, but somehow I could never get rid of them.
Still, all in all it was a good job.
Blakey.
