Mr McGrump {Grumpy to his mates} is a bus driver. His favourite thing in the whole wide world is to grumble about something. It might be a passenger. It could be a fellow bus driver blocking a roundabout. It might even be the speedy undercover police car flashing its blue lights. He will definitely grumble about the girl running across the road on the green man, when the traffic lights are red for him. He second favourite thing in the whole wide world is to play a game. The game is called, I'm allowed to fit fifty-two standing passengers on this bus, so that's what's going to happen. He forgets that people need to get off the bus at various stops, and that the bus doesn't just go from A to B, and he also forgets that we need to breathe. Packing us in like sardines is not conducive to breathing. He snaps at passengers, or potential passengers, who are simply asking him a question. He rarely smiles, except at other drivers. He's a right misery guts. There's a poster up on the buses at the moment asking passengers to nominate their favourite driver for an award. I don't think he wants to win.
