I have a fascination for the weather and all things to do with nature and science. As a Christian I worship, when shifts allow at St. Nicholas Church in Radstock. These are my observations on my life, both at work and at home.

What a good battery

Pretty quite last few days. Kids still off so most of the time been running on time. 2956 Sunday, had a passenger in the front seat (as you do) who was on the phone, no problem with that and as they we no , as a lot of people do, going in to the 'I'm on the bus routine' gave it no thought. What was amazing was that they were still on the phone when we arrived at Victoria, three hours latter! I and another passenger wondered. a. how the battery lasted that long and, b. What did they have to talk about!
Still each to their own.

The terms and conditions clearly state: 8.1 Required behaviour...

You shall:

Use mobile phones considerately

I have imposed this condition on offending passengers before and will continue to do so in the future. We have to draw the line somewhere on this nuisance before the other passengers vote with their feet and we lose business. If a passenger complains to me about mobile phone abuse then I invoke this condition, if a passenger sits behind me and drones on for longer than 10 minutes then I invoke this condition. I feel this is fair and nobody has complained over the years.

I also have this rule but he hardly said anything. It was only when I stopped I realised he was still on the phone!!
