A BUS driver has given change from a £10 note without acting like it is a natural disaster.

Manchester driver Norman Steele reached into his top pocket and produced a five pound note which he then handed to passenger Martin Bishop, along with rest of the change, without saying a word.

Bishop said: “I was fully expecting a brief but nasty lecture, or at least a huge, heaving sigh, but he just handed over the money without acting like it comes out of his wages.”

But Steele said: “I’m just in a reasonably good mood today. Normally I would have been an absolute arsehole.”

Steele said his passengers were lucky they were not in London, where you cannot pay with money, or in Edinburgh where you have to have the exact change.

He added: “I might go drive a bus in London or Edinburgh then. That way I can really be a dick to people who simply want to exchange money for a bus journey.”
