Yes and in the case of the bendy there was a lot of dislike. But you need to


I'm not so sure. I think there was a small very vocal minority who couldn't
stand them and made damn sure everyone knew it , but the vast majority of
users were more than happy with them. I used them intermittently for a while
and I found them a pleasure to use. Far nicer than having to crawl up the
staircase in a double decker and hang on for dear life while the driver
floors it and then when I get to the top deck its more like a greenhouse than
a method of transport. And thats without the obligatory yoofs hanging around
on the back seat.
