Just Mr. Books I think. It is amazing though how many people walk in and ask if it's alright to look around. As if I'm going to say Bugger off can't you see I'm trying to read a book! The bus driver in question I would say was on the edge of a nervous breakdown. Jobs can be so much more fulfilling if you actually do them properly and I would say that, in his case, doing the job properly, as well as not crashing the bus into a low bridge or something, might in part also be helping customers who aren't familiar with what he takes for granted.Tonbridge bloggerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13242621868186419096noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5008739840732779226.post-56039553166158867432012-01-21T17:16:29.368+00:002012-01-21T17:16:29.368+00:00I was bus driver for about 3 years at Arriva Tunbr...I was bus driver for about 3 years at Arriva Tunbridge Wells, but I didn't find the job "incredibly dull and unfulfilling". A little stressful sometimes yes, but on the whole, I quite enjoyed it. During the stressful moments, when the traffic was heavy, and I was running late, I would console myself with the thought that there are worse jobs. Being stuck in an office all day long, or even some back street second hand bookshop! How dull and unfulfilling is that!<br /> Sometimes I would be asked silly questions to. I would pull up at a timetable festooned bus stop with my destination displayed on the front, side and back of my bus and still get asked by at least one person where I was going. I found the best response was along the lines of: "erm, no...but there'll be a 402 along in a minute, that's the one you want". It sounds as if you were unlucky with the driver you spoke to.<br />Anyway, the next time someone who is a bit of a stranger to the high street mode of shopping blunders into your shop and enquires "Do you sell kettles"? You'll know you can just shrug and say: "It says book shop on my sign outside mate".sebfoxhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13634176492337313786noreply@blogger.com
