I’ve just come across a couple of interesting blogs which I’ve added to the ‘Blogs I Read’ list on the left. The first is To the Regiment – I wish I was there which seems an odd name. It’s also got some other odd, perhaps idiosyncratic would be a better word, ideas. For example ” ……. this blog is not listed on Blogger; nor was the box ticked allowing search engines to “lurk””. “Should anyone come across it in addition to those who know of its existence and its author then they are welcome to read it”. And, on the subject of comments “Some people’s ideas of blogging is to allow anything, leave yourself open to comments, commendations, criticism; mine is not”. The author is a coach driver on what appears to be scheduled services, but he manages very successfully to hide both the company for which he drives and even the area in which he drives. For example he only ever refers to ‘motorway’ and not the M4, M5 etc. Places are never named it’s always ‘city’ with a lower case ‘c’. He may, or may not, be your cup of tea :-)

The second blog is only a month old and I hope the author keeps it going. It’s I am the Passenger. She/He started the blog after coming across bus driver blogs and wrote “Some of them have interesting stories about interactions with passengers, so I thought that maybe it should be the passengers’ turn. I have no idea how regularly I will keep this up, or whether it will be interesting, but we will see”.
