Since I've been in Glasgow I've been mainly getting around by bus. One of the common whinges I've noticed in the Metro letters page (I'm such a highbrow reader) is the number of buses that aren't in service. Pretty early on I got used to the "Sorry Not In Service" sign and would roll my eyes and continue to shiver whilst waiting for the next one that actually deigned to go somewhere useful.
Since the New Year, I've noticed that the sign has changed subtlely. Now it says "Sorry I'm Not In Service". What the hell is all that about? Like personalising it slightly is going to make the situation better and less irritating? That I'll blame the bus and not the driver or the bus company for being left standing at the bus stop? Goodness only knows how much they paid someone to come up with that. Gah.
