Reviews

Geronimo1967

Who can’t associate with being on a packed bus and feeling that everyone else is just being a pain in the neck, or noisy, or rude or even attractive? Well that’s Tuppence Middleton’s experience as she stands on a busy London bus travelling home. She can imagine the lengths people will go to get a seat, be left in peace - or even just to get on and off the thing. She makes eye contact with another passenger, he reciprocates, but is it just that look of a kindred spirit sharing her thoughts or do their gentle smiles at each other represent anything more potential? It’s quite an interesting observation of a few minutes in their lives, probably a routine that we do day-in day-out, and maybe if it were shown on buses it might make us a little more appreciative and aware of each other as we usually quite selfishly endure the daily grind.
