Who was screaming his head off was hungry. His very anxious mother was trying to calm him without much success. She explained they had been to a nearby hospital for some reason and he had not had anything to eat.
I took out the small cheese sandwich I had with me and offered it rather hesitantly but it was received with relief and gratitude. There w as instant silence . I have never seen a sandwich disappear so quickly.
As they boarded their bus the mother gave me a hug and the small boy finally gave me a smile.
Yes, London bus stops can be very intimidating places.
