No, things get heated here when mentioning the C-word. Rightly banned.

Hellish things, Buses, IMO. 😡

But due to the paucity of Tube Stations and Taxis in the wilderness South of the River, especially near St. Ockwell, Battersia and Claughm, one must use them. Especially as a day ticket is a mere £3.

I recall a particularly disturbing encounter with the No.28 bus in Kensington High Street. Sighting my candy-stripe shirt and white Sailor's trousers, it veered within inches of my person. I was unable to identify the driver to a concerned Constable.

A close thing, IMO. I could visualise my cronies in the Club wondering: "Whatever happened to system7?"

"Oh", they would have said. "Knocked over by a Bloody Wandsworth Bus outside Jimmy's Wine Bar!" 😱

Did anyone notice, as I did, that the former Wimpy Bar in Clapham Road South seems to have encountered a building mishap over the years? 😕

I know London is subsiding an inch or so every Century, but this seems ridiculous. 😱
