>From my experience you do find out of most of the bus companies that Arrive drivers are not the best in the world. A driver who was sacked from the company I work for because he never passed a breath test is now working for Arriva. I myself the other month was sworn at by an Arrive driver whilst I went around him in Bromley on my bus, he was serving bus stops without indication & when he did he was pulling away with left hand indication on.
Sorry if I have offended an Arriva driver who is good at his/her job.

Try not to post very large photos or very small ones. Pixel width should be no bigger than 1600 and no smaller than 800. This allows members to view the images full screen, depending on their monitor settings. Quality should be sharp and maintained when resizing images. File sizes should be around the 250KB - 600KB mark, but not bigger than 800KB. Try to keep somewhere in the middle of all this, around 400KB can produce good images with no loss of quality. You can easily reduce the size of images using Google's own picassa http://picasa.google.com/ or Irfanview http://www.irfanview.com/ -- Experience the Devil
