Bought a tub of emulsion paint yesterday from the local DIY store and went to get the bus home but was refused travel by the jobs-worth driver because 'you're not allowed to get on a bus if you are carrying paint'.
I got off and boarded the next bus a minute later with no comment at all from the driver.
I'm no spring chicken and have seen a LOT of summers so I certainly don't fit the public image of a typical graffiti merchant - and anyway it wasn't an aerosol spray can.
What did the first driver think I was going to do - redecorate the bus?
The world's gone mad!
