TEENAGERS on the R1 bus I was on at St Mary Cray station made for the rear seats and immediately began using the F word with great frequency.

When a bee found its way into the bus there were unimaginable histrionics and shrieks of obscenities by the females, one of whom eventually killed the bee with her shoe.

I found myself reflecting the unfortunate bee had undoubtedly led a far more useful life than any of these half-witted teenagers had led or were ever likely to lead.

Couldn't bus drivers be given permission to off-load those guilty of swearing, playing music at full volume and generally creating havoc at everyone else's expense?

Why are cretins allowed to dominate? Civilized bus users are in for an unpleasant few weeks during the school holidays.
