I had one on my bus today.  All the way from Salisbury to Winchester.<\/p>\n<p>The fairy was stood at a bus stop in Salisbury and put out it&#8217;s hand to signal that it wanted my bus!  The fairy was about 5&#8242; 11&#8243;, wearing dayglo pink tights, a white ballet tutu and had lovely wings on it&#8217;s back.  The fairy also carried a magic wand.  But there was something odd about this fairy that just didn&#8217;t fit with the usual pictures you see of fairies &#8211; this fairy was quite definately male!  Believe me it&#8217;s quite difficult to have a conversation with a bloke dressed as a fairy who asks if a return fare or an Explorer is cheaper.  Normally with someone dressed like this you&#8217;d have a laugh but on a Saturday afternoon and faced with an absolutely serious fairy who didn&#8217;t give any hint of humour it seemed a difficult bridge to cross.  I kept a close eye on the fairy during the hour and twenty minute trip because it was obviously finding it difficult to sit comfortably without breaking it&#8217;s wings.  Perhaps Stagecoach ought to have special seats with modified backs so that fairies can travel comfortably?<\/p>\n<p>The thought did go through my mind as to whether this was the same passenger who often uses the bus whilst dressed as a woman, but the fairy paid a fare and the transvestite has a concession card.  The transvestite always wears what appear to be size 11 pointed shoes with kitten heels, tights (I guess they&#8217;re tights) a navy blue skirt and white blouse.  The blonde hair is very obviously a wig.  If all that wasn&#8217;t give away enough he sits on the bus just like a bloke with his legs apart rather than tightly together.  When gets off he stomps rather than walks.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I do. I had one on my bus today. All the way from Salisbury to Winchester.
