Just to pick up on what I touched upon a few days ago about my bus-related issues, I doubt that many people will have experienced the problem I just had: Say you’re sat on a bus, in your chair in the wheelchair space. Your bus stop is coming up, so you need to press the special button to alert the driver to put the ramp out so you can get off. The problem is, the button is mounted on a pole by the wheelchair space, against which is currently leant a young black boy, his face fixated on his mobile phone. If you put your hand out to press the button, your fingers would go straight into the young man’s arse crack.

So what do you do? You don’t want the guy to think you’re touching him up – he might punch you! But your bus stop is quickly approaching! Oh, the dilemmas of being a disabled guy in twenty-first century London. In the end I just tapped the guy on the shoulder and motioned that I wanted to get off; but I think this is another of those little issues that only guys like me experience, so it falls to me to record it.
