Reminds me of a bloke I used to live nextdoor to, a pom, who ran a bus company. He told me a joke once about cost-cutting in London Transport, which LT vehemently denied, via their PR unit, specifically the buses. In the middle of the day, there's a terrible bus crash at Piccadilly Circus, bodies everywhere, cars upside down, bus lurched to one side. The Metropolitan Police approach the driver to get a first-hand account of what happened and the driver says (in an Indian accent, apologies to those easily offended but it kind of doesn't work without it as at the time lots of Indian immigrants were driving buses) "I don't know, I vozz upstairs collecting fares".
