Months ago I reported here that I got on a bus called Graham Greene, and then began to notice that all double decker buses in BrightonandHove were named after a celebrity or dignatory who had a local connection.

There are lots of buses. Some of the names are not even famous on their own bus route. "Councillor Norman Temkins..." You get the picture.

But yesterday I saw one named after one of my ex-lovers. Before her early death, she was quite a famous newsreader, who used to live in Brighton.

I say ex-lover. We had a flirtation and a one night stand.

I say one night stand but nothing passionate happened. By her insistence, or mutual agreement...

On the other hand, she later told my TV journalist sister that something did happen and we'd had an affair.

And there she is, commemerated on the front of a bus I just missed.

Life is exciting down here.
