Melbourne, Australia, where I grew up. The thing is, half of me just wanted to be left in ‘peace’ as I trundled off to my boring work – and the other half admired this man who broke through all these silly little barriers we artificially put up between each other.

I love it when people in ‘public’ jobs do this stuff. Years ago, when Melbourne had its old trams, there was this crazy conductor who would entertain the passengers all day with jokes, acrobatics on the bars, etc. He was famous. I still wonder what happened to him.

There should be awards for people like that. Although the saying that no good deed goes unpunished is perhaps applicable. Just wait for his dismissal for having non-standard equipment fitted to the bus (the pail), distributing foodstuffs in a public place without a license, soliciting smiles without authorisation…
