Catch catch

On the bus there are windows, some open and some don't. There are also people some open windows some don't and some do it incorrectly.

The opening windows are of the sliding variety, the left hand pane is held in place by a catch, when one desires some air the catch can be opened and the window slid right so it overlaps the other (immobile) pain. Simple enough you may think. it appears not, as on many of the busses people have managed to slide the right hand (immobile) pane to overlap the opening window. This is a testament to both how shoddily bus windows are put together and how inobservant people can be.

Once the necessity for the window to be open has passed rather than attempting to fix said window people more often than not slide the opening part of the window across, making it appear the the window is fixed and closed, if it were not for the inch wide gap between the two panes, allowing the air to whistle in as the bus picks up pace. Because the windows are incorrectly stowed the catch the should hold the window closed cannot be engaged and hangs down gently tapping a metallic rhythm to all in the bus. Today this happened and the man sitting next to it did nothing, nothing at all. He was an unusually tall man it would not have taken him much effort.

Glad to see your writing in your blog again but why, why do you have windows open on the bus in this weather? I'm very confused!
