The bus driver stopped the bus and said, or rather, mumbled, "This bus is stopping for two minutes out of remembrance."

"Bloody hell," a little girl said.

 "I've got to do my shopping," said a woman.

"Is it for an ambulance?" asked another.

The little girl's mom, who'd been whoo'ing like an owl doing voice training ever since we got on at Crouch End Broadway, sang, "Why do we have to wait so long?  Why doooo we have to wait so loooong?"

The shopping woman got off the bus.

So much for remembrance.
