Ordinary Gweilo

I don’t want to sound like one of those crazy people who write letters to the SCMP, but…

When they introduced Idiot TV on buses, I thought most of the complaints were overdone – yes it’s annoying, but I found it quite easy to ignore.

Now they have apparently decided to turn up the volume so that we can’t ignore it.  Even when I am listening to music on my MP3 player I can still hear their brainless presenters talking rubbish in the background. 

I predict that they will tell us that their research shows that most passengers enjoy watching this nonsense, and most of them are deaf (on account of shouting at each other all the time).  Or perhaps it’s to drown out the people who talk loudly into their mobile phones on buses.  It definitely wouldn’t be because they want to be able to charge more for advertising.  Oh no.
