He counted on six passengers, rang the bell, and then, as the bus moved off, called to those left behind: "So sorry, plenty of room in my heart - but the bus is full." He left behind a row of smiling faces. It's not what you do, it's the way that you do it.

No sense of pitch, but plenty of enthusiasm, he added.

With events in the world today, it must be considered with all seriousness.
