To every thing there is a season....

My wife was always loathe to throw good clothes away just because they had gone out of fashion - "Wait long enough" she used to say "and they'll come round again." I thought of this when I saw a report in the paper that Leeds is to re-introduce the trolley-bus. I doubt whether many of you remember them - I don't think there have been any in service in this country since the early 70s - but I used to travel on them daily to and from school. They were quiet and clean and in many continental countries they have continued to be used. So if you wait long enough.....
