There is a popular saying that if something sounds too good to be true it probably is. I prefer to look on the bright side of life, and at least consider anything that looks good. On this occasion the mice were correct, and were not fooled by the cat’s clumsy...Blog July 2018 – Birmingham Buses
I went to medical school in Birmingham, and what a wonderful city it was and still is. However the bus service in those days had a mind of its own.
