AS a pensioner and regular bus-user, what a pleasure it is to see so many young mums and dads with their children and pushchairs using the buses.

Because I have a problem with my balance, I often have an amusing struggle to get past the buggies. My walking stick sometimes gets tangled up.

But it's all part of the fun of the day.
