Today my friend and I caught the bus to go to Mawson Lakes railway station. We produced our Seniors cards and were given a little paper ticket suitable for old people. Then we had to validate them. There lies the rub. We couldn't get the ticket validater to work. We put the tickets in this way and that way but nothing. A lady leapt out of her seat to help us and then the bus driver got up to help us. Finally after we had wasted enough time for the bus to miss the train and for everyone to be peed off with two dotty old women our job was done.
I don't know what happened, I have gone from school girl who was so annoyed by older people having a problem getting on and off the bus, to be the annoying old woman on the bus. What the hell happened?
On our way home I was amazed when high school kids from Prescott schools, actually gave up their seats. This has not happened in years. I am going to ring their school on Monday to say how pleased my friend and I were. In my day we gave up our seats without question, however, it is absolute gold to meet well mannered kids. Thanks kids we really appreciated it.
