SIR: Human kindness does exist in large doses, as BEN editor Mark Rossiter pointed out. A very independent lady who will be 90 in four weeks' time agrees. One of her many thanks goes to our GM Buses drivers who, over many years in Horwich to Bolton, have been very friendly, pleasant and helpful, especially the one who waited for her when she came out of the hairdresser's last week. She doesn't mean to be on the last minute all the time. It's just she can't run as fast as she used to.
