MY wife Celia took the bus to a meeting in London today.
There were two extraordinary aspects to her journey.
The first, that she was on a bus at all, a rarer sighting than Matt Hancock at his constituency office.
The second, that it took her 90 minutes to get from Kensington to Green Park, a distance of just three miles, and another 45 minutes to get to Blackfriars, two miles further on, via a cab she eventually hailed after abandoning the virtually stationary bus.
According to Google maps, had she simply walked the entire journey, she would have arrived at the destination an hour earlier.
