Show on the bus

There was a golden moment on the bus ride back to KQED. A large man wearing a yellow vest top and tight bright green shorts got onto the bus somewhere in the Castro area. He sat next to a woman he appeared to know. The conversation was loud, camp and entertaining. He'd just been watching the British TV series Keeping Up Appearances on cable. His female friend asked if that was the one set in a store. "No, that's Are You Being Served? but I like that one too." I could have been in London except conversations on the red buses are more rare!
I used the buses frequently in San Francisco and even purchased a seven day pass, inviting predictable comments about Barrie getting his bus pass!
