Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

What a buzz in the Richmond Lounge last Friday.

That seldom have so many personalities on the commercial side of road transport been gathered together.

Of a bus ride to Australia in a 13-year-old singledecker.

Of some passengers not being allowed to board buses while carrying rifles.

That soon they will be barring spivs with coshes:

That treacherous road surfaces are still being laid in some places—even in London.

That series of accidents have occurred following such inconsiderate and foolish actions.

That cheese-paring on roads improvement and maintenance almost amounts to manslaughter. That the highlights of the Show almost make a blaze.

Of many expressions of admiration from overseas visitors.

In America, of the production of light bulbs with aluminium bases.

That these may help to lighten light expenses.

That such remarkable examples of transport engineering should be forced to use inadequate highways is a national .disgrace.

Of someone describing the levy as " putting the railways on the dole."
