On my commute home, two older ladies (who I thought would know better) tried it and the bus stopped further away. So, those who were at the front of the queue did get on first. When my bus arrived, four schoolboys tried it on but yours truly gave them a taste of their own medicine!

In our campervan looking from a higher driving position it’s incredible how many folk are on the phone.
