I’ve mentioned before that I now drive what is predominately a rural route – Winchester to Salisbury in a very wobbly line. Today I was flagged down by an elderly lady who was not at a bus stop, this is not in itself unusual because on a route like this you stop where people want rather than where the bus stop pole is planted! However, she didn’t come onto the bus but came round to my driver’s side window, I opened the window and she held out an envelope (looked like a Christmas card). ” Would you please give this to the lady with a shopping trolley who gets on at xxxxx”? “No problem” I said knowing exactly who she meant. A few miles on I came to xxxx and there was the lady with her shopping trolley ready to receive her card! All I need now is receive the paltry sum a bus driver is paid PLUS a postman’s wages, then I should be better off.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
