The Good Old Ones

The old London buses had an air of charm and history,of the London I imagined. The new ones have a driver in a booth,just waiting for someone to be in the middle of the stairs before abruptly stopping. Speakers announce the name of each stop loudly, as it approaches and the windows are ridiculous. The buses are full of "modern people" using their mobile phones, as if shouting to a friend across the street. Damn shopping bags are left on the seat next to some people, as if this were more important, than allowing someone else to sit down. I think I'm getting grumpy, help !
