Neil Williams gurgled happily, sounding much like
they were saying:

I wonder how many double-decker buses have passed that tree without
hitting it?

Judging by the ones on the Kingsway, quite a few *do* hit them.

Many people dead or injured?

It's also quite uncomfortable as a passenger watching trees rush by
only 6" or so away.

shrug Don't sit in the very leftmost upper seats, then.
