My mum was working in insurance when she had a self proclaimed anarchist boss. But she reckons he just used to sit at the end of bars, listening in on other people's conversations. And this one time he pointed out to her that he was going to go support the busdrivers picket and pointed to a group of people saying "there's the lads now". But it was just the bus queue.

That's my rather nuanced opinion of anarchist bosses anyhow...

At least my stories are first hand* ffs.

*or imagined but have me in them!

Yeah but it's chaos in Croydon! I've been on the trams. In Brixton, Crystal Palace, Peckham, Gypsy Hill, Hackney and Mile End I have experienced queues at bus stops.

And in Edinburgh sometimes the queues are 15 people long...

Whenever I'm waiting for the bus it's more like a big swarm. I like to sidle up to the front when the bus comes into view. I usually know exactly where to stand so the doors open up right in front of me smile

Oh you sidlers! You are messing with the fabric of our society.

The queue should form one line regardless of which bus you're getting. When your bus comes, start agitating the people in front of you. They will back down and let you through, forming the real but temporary queue for "this" bus.

I now imagine you being one of those chaps you see gadding about town hatless. Say it isn't so!

Hatless? How appalling! What a cad and bounder!
