High Gear?

As I boarded today the driver told me that there was something wrong with the bus, that it could not accelerate up to top speed very fast but go fast when it is there. During my journey I noticed that this was in fact the case, what I did not notice was him telling any other passengers about the problem. I do hope that he didn’t think that in telling me he had somehow passed the responsibility of telling other people on to me, cos I told no one. Except Simon. He wasn’t on the bus though. He was at work.

The bus home was unaffected.
