Let's All Get On "The Lilac Bus"

Advantages: Very enjoyable and easy read
Disadvantages: It finished!

track down and watch soon! As I read the first chapter of the book which happened to be about Nancy Morris, I realised what was to come.

They would leave him stripped naked and then get off laughing their heads off. many a driver used to wedge the cab door shut to keep them from dragging him out of the cab. The Instructors at London Transport were the best in the world and to have earned your badge with them was something to be proud of. They were ...
