Some road works today on my way back from a seminar in Victoria today. I learned this from the third 185 bus (driver) which was going only as far a Camberwell. Every other bus she said, should be going the whole route. But, this is the third bus not going to Catford! Every other bus she said. Not listening. So I walked to Waterloo bridge where I got the 171. All was well, till we got to Brockley:

Blooming heck. We got stuck. An MPV was parked in front, and this clown wouldn't reverse back to let the bus through. The drivers behind him reversed back. The bus, couldn't move, because there was a jam behind. 5-6 minutes later and there's 6 buses waiting for this guy to move, passengers (and residents) are out remonstrating with him, and the female driver from the bus behind is screaming the air blue!

Seriously dude, just give way...its a BUS! 6 BUSES! Eventually he moved forward about 1 metre, and we were able to move. 1 metre - so what was all that palaver for! Some people, eh?
