Clapham omnibus

I like this new twist on a well-worn phrase, taken from The Anonymous Prosecutor, especially as I was expecting just another jibe about sexism & political correctness.

'The test used to be "man on the top deck of the Clapham Omnibus", but I suppose times have changed, and such people may be more likely to relieve you of your wallet than be honest.'
