THE BUS PASS

It's an old cliché, but you do seem to wait ages for a bus and then three come along at once. It's like one of the old Hanna Barbera cartoons where you'd see Scooby-Doo and the gang walking past the same door again and again. The real world animators get bored, use the same cell of the moving bus three times while you're at the bus stop.

If you were a Hanna Barbera character - Fred Flintstone, George Jetson, Josie McCoy - I guess you'd be making the bus observation about a lot more things. "You wait hours for one door to come along, and then twenty turn up on the same corridor."

There's some comfort in that.
