The bus brakes were checked and found to be in perfect working order, so the driver has been called in for some extra training. They had no other knowledge of the elderly gentleman falling off his seat. <br /><br />Windsmoke; the driver is getting an extra training session. <br />The ATM I most often use is normally okay, just this one time, I think maybe a note got jammed in the dispenser or something. It can happen if a note has a little tear in a crucial spot along an edge.Riverhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14794655013673748992noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-67762444104878266962011-10-28T07:20:19.190+10:302011-10-28T07:20:19.190+10:30Sounds to me like the bus driver needs retraining....Sounds to me like the bus driver needs retraining.

Also, your international readers mightn't realize that SCHOOL busses and regular busses, they are the same. here in the US we would be super scared that pedophiles and the like would be on the busses and we don't mix people like that.<br /><br />I sure HOPE they got your payment and that this fellow is ok.

I have noticed that in such situations, people want to immediately haul the person to their feet, perhaps as proof of their okness, instead of letting them just get up in their own time, as you allowed him.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2664393407924733681.post-64229148167028423662011-10-27T19:55:36.822+10:302011-10-27T19:55:36.822+10:30What a day!
