Fly Zoom!
My neighbours on the outbound and inbound journeys had something in common. I remember neither of their names, by the way. The guy on the way to London now builds motorbikes and runs a fright company with a fleet of lorries. We swapped driving stories. I mentioned about how inconsiderate taxi drivers are towards bus drivers I Central London, and they guy behind turned out to be a Taxi Driver. He came over and proudly stated that at least once a day, he makes sure that a Bus Driver misses his light: “The highlight of my day!” F#&$er!!
Before he got into haulage, my neighbour was a rally cross driver who rode for Great Britain. My neighbour on the journey back was employed by the Welsh National Opera as a Modern Dance. What do these two professions have I common? Both are prone to serious injury and both lead to early retirement. The young lady I journeyed back with was looking forward to her retirement in 2 years time – at the age of 30.
