I would just like to add that I am not a snob and will talk to anybody even if they are lower class!

I am really interested to know if you can justify the inference you have just made about my previous employment. If you can, you should publish the facts as you know them, and if you can't I expect an apology. Lord Shrek has been unable to do that so far of course!

Being an easy going sort of chap, I am prepared to make due allowances for your rather obvious "green eyes" naturally.

I don't mind snobbery so much, but I can't stand inverted snobs. Getting abuse from some building site labourers just 'cos you're wearing a tie? What a load of cobblers. In fact, I first noticed it when I had a Lexus as a company car: people stopped letting me out of junctions.

Me, I am easy going guy and I either get on with someone or I don't. It's all about personality.

as a rule you're much better off assuming everybody is a complete **** - people rarely let you down if you assume the worse

I was alive to that of course Jasey. I did think it was only fair to offer him the chance though of course.

I fully expect him to take the trolling approach as ever by not being able to find an answer, ie the coward's way out!

I can't imagine ever doing this to anyone

I'm sure generally the drivers are really nice people.It all seems to change when the ignition key is turned.

Only IMHO but I'd say 99% of transit driving is poor/aggressive which hasn't helped their popularity with other road users
