She uses an electric wheelchair and managed to dislodge the pole in the wheelchair bay (not surprising given how cramped it is in a MPD). The driver was great about it and she wrote in aboot his good deed.
Well I read what she wrote in the other day and she thought the driver took a shine to me and thought it would be an excellent idea to "extoll the virtues" of myself. I could have killed her.
Well I had the same driver on the the 57a today and the best I could manage was "don't worry I'm not stalking you". I do know how to land myself in it.
An update: I finally plucked up the courage to ask the driver if he had received the letter. He said no. On one hand I'm pleased it saved me from more embarrassment, but on the other hand IMHO it doesn't reflect well on Arriva if they don't let their staff know if they have received praise
