M: Yes, well, thanks a lot... haven’t been to a party for ages. I’ll drop round then. Er...tell me how I can get them.
W: All right. Take a 46 bus.
M: All fight, but I’ve seen the 46 going the opposite way, I’m sure. I didn’t want to end up at the wrong end of town, that’s all.
W: In any case, what you may have seen is the 46.
That goes from here down to the Elephant on its return journey.
M: But I seem to remember coming to your house one time on the 28.
Am I right? I used to catch it at Marble Arch.
W: Yes, but it’s discontinued. It used to run from Tooting straight through to here. It’s a pity.
M: OK. Now where do I get off?
W: Get off at Boots the chemist’s on the comer, two stops after the railway bridge.
M: Hang on... let me write that down. So I get off at Boots the chemist’s after the railway bridge.
W: Two stops after you’ve gone under the railway bridge.
M: All right. Then what?
W: Then turn right and turn fight again at the second set of traffic lights.
M: OK.
W: Then first right into Hartington Road and I’m number one, second floor.
M: OK, I’ve got all that. Where do you think is the nearest place for me to catch the 467
W: I should think Piccadilly Circus or Green Park would be the nearest to you.
M: Oh well, they’re both within walking distance. Have you any idea how often they run?
W: What?
M: The 46, do you know how often it runs?
W: I’ve no idea. I should think every, ten or fifteen minutes. I never have to wait long.
M: Good. I should be there in about an hour. Thanks for the invitation. Cheers.
W: Cheers. See you later.
