    TITLE:I like driving in my car

    <div style="clear:both;"></div>Despite the fact that it has a huge crack across the windscreen and has just failed its MOT.

Wednesday is the day I get the car to drive to work, and it's just as well. I drove past the bus I usually get this morning parked at the side of the road looking quite broken down, and being attended to by another bus.

Not a big surprise really; yesterday there was a new driver who didn't quite know the route and got us stuck in a traffic jam for twenty minutes on a road we weren't supposed to be on. No sooner had we got back onto the right road, than the gear-stick fell off. Seriously.

The last time that happened was when the previous driver was only just new. It takes time for drivers to become accustomed to the various idiosyncrasies of each member of the number seven's small fleet.

I can't wait till he gets the one with the dodgy fuel meter and we run out of diesel mid-route. That's happened three times in the past. The best bus is the one with the broken door that you have to push open yourself. At least that's a quirk you can live with.<div style="clear:both; padding-bottom:0.25em"></div>
