I just feel I need to get this off my chest.

I have just been out in my lunch hour shopping at Broomhill. As I was walking along the pavement (not on the edge of the pavement) a nutter bus driver overtook another vehicle. Although its wheels didnt mount the curb, the actual carriage did and nearly knocked me over. Being awake and fortunately quick of the mark, I swifty moved out of the way launching myself towards a passer by (I bet she doesnt take that route again at lunch t-hee). Not being used to shocks like that, I stood for a moment and watched the bus speed off up Fulwood Road out of Broomhill. I imagine the passengers wondered what was wrong with the look on my face. Hopefully I amused someone even if I wasnt amused myself.

There............. I feel a little better for that.

Nahhhhhh. I have nothing against bus drivers. honest. Even when one of those yellow bendi-bus's that you dont see anymore nudged my car in busy traffic and left yellow on the front of my bumper, I didnt get annoyed or anything. Strangely I found it firstly embarrasing then amusing.

Bet that happened on the corner near the betting shop. the roads in broomhill are dangerous. the crossings are not adequate especially when you consider the amount of pedestrian in the area for half the year!

Not far from there, just the other side of the road on that corner. Had to go to the bank today so was very careful but it was ok because it wasnt the rush hour.
