Default Bus jam in Notting Hill last Sunday

Hi all,

There seemed to be about a hundred buses in Notting Hill last Sunday,
blocking both sides of (I think) Westbourne Grove. They seemed to be all
red, and there were no cars between them, just solid bus. The police had
closed off the road. What was all that about?

No, they were meeting to discuss the latest snarly expressions they can give
to passengers, the newest verbal insults and which are the best manoeuvres
to use to fling standing passengers to the floor.

Or perhaps they were meeting to discuss how best to deal with passengers
who get on and refuse to pay, threatening to punch the drivers' lights out
if they dare ask them to.
