One Satisfied Passenger, One Not So Satisfied

I was waiting in Paignton bus station after my meal break yesterday for my bus to turn up. When it did it was a low floor single decker. Unusual but not unknown. This turned out to be a nice idea for at least one of my passengers who boarded with a small child in tow. He had obviously not been looking when the bus turned up as he immediately proclaimed that he wanted to go upstairs. Mother who had been watching said "Well you can't." He disagreed and wandered down the bus and was just a little puzzled not to find any stairs. Mother was quite glad as she was laden down with enough Christmas shopping to feed most of the passengers who were already on the bus and probably would not have made it upstairs. Child wanted to get of and wait for next bus. Mother said “Not a chance”.
