Overheard on the bus

A young man got on as we reached the outskirts of town, spotted a friend whom he had not seen for a while.

So they exchanged news of what they had been up to.

Next thing, I was dancing naked in Wythenshawe …

… But I’m doing all right now.

It is tempting to leave it at that, except I feel dutybound to report that it really was a touching but optimistic exchange of stories about their struggles to get themselves established in the world of work.
