NO EATING OF BUNS
RULE FOR BUS DRIVERS London bus drivers are formally commanded not to eat buns while steering their cars through the crowded streets of the city. A circular to ibis effect has been issued from the offices of the bus company. “The front of a public service vehicle in crowded traffic is not tho place for bun eating,” it reads. “No driver can do hlg job properly and look out for passengers if he is half choked with food.” Bus conductors also have been ordered to refrain from whistling and singing, and the conductors have made a protest alleging that “highbrow” passengers complain because the men generally whistle or sing ragtime. “If we preferred grand opera to popular music it would be all right with these long-haired folks with pale faces that can’t stand to have real livo folks enjoy themselves,” one disgusted conductor explained.
