Our bendy bus driver is waiting at the lights, they turn green, but

*some* room, but not enough, so he goes nowhere. Then the lights go
green in the other direction, and what space had formed gets filled with
other vehicles. Such as a normal bus, perhaps. Repeat ad infinitum.

Makes you wonder how any of the thousands of HGVs all over the country ever
make any progress doesn't it.


You may have noticed that very few of the biggest ones go into central
London.
