‘We used to have a man who sat at the back of the bus with the same holiday brochure for years. He clearly had something up with him as he’d mumble to himself and hold the brochure right up to his face.

‘Top deck of a London bus. Bloke got on wearing a tracksuit, got off wearing a business suit, shirt and tie. At no point did he even remotely flash anyone. I was impressed.
