SIR - Today I got on the 31A bus at Worcestershire Royal Hospital. There was a loud mouthed thing already on the bus.

From the hospital to St Stephens Church, all I could hear was - Don't call me a .......... again, the next second he is answering it again, same conversation over and over again, for the whole of the journey. Why did he not answer it or turn if off. Why should I have to listen to other peoples conversations about such bad language.

Other times I have been on the bus conversations such as I'm on the bus at such and such a place put the kettle on. Then there are passengers talking about their private lives, money, where they spent last night etc.

My life is not so dull that I need someone else's. Can mobile phones not be used on buses, you cannot play a radio on the bus.
