One driver said: “They have weird requests, want to be dropped off at their doorstep and are always pressing the emergency stop to get off.”

The drivers in Skopje, Macedonia, want bosses to supply them with chocolate as “it keeps us calm, reduces stress and will keep the roads safe”.

There's a bloke on The Fall Forum who drives a bus around Scarborough and Whitby, and he's always complaining about old people with their free passes clogging his bus up. I told him I'd make sure my mother went on a bus when she goes there for a weekend with her sister.

He'll enjoy this story. Or not. One or the other. Thanks, Sesley.
