Jennifer Lopez,
I've never been hit by a bus, but I know that being hit by one would hurt! Incidentally, I am led to believe being hit by a bus is equally painful to a non British/Dutch person.
If you stick to the green cross code/SOPS! then you have a framework for crossing the road/operating an aircraft that will apply equally as well to a 5 year old/200hr inexperienced FO....
Kindest regards,
Calltheball (British/Dutch and allowed to cross the road on my own)
