Maxwell's Retirement
“When it had begun, edging out of Leighford bus station, it had been almost full, its passengers representing the many and various sections of the population. There was the obligatory little old lady sitting at the front, smugly ensconced in the ‘Please give up this seat to anyone who is elderly or disabled’ seat. Her bad leg was prominently displayed in front of her in the best position to get kicked by anyone joining the bus. This gave her a perfect opportunity to wince and clutch her calf, whilst muttering imprecations against babies in buggies, babies not in buggies, toddlers, school-age children, mothers, fathers, other old people and anyone else not covered by her rather comprehensive list. There were many from the babies and mothers camp. Some were screaming, some just whimpering. Some of the babies were also making a reasonable amount of noise. Add to the mix the tinny flick of the iPod earphones screwed into ears so pierced it was a miracle there was still an unimpeded hole to... take the plugs.MoreLess
