Evidence:
'Every night when I go home I swear there are not more than three English people on the bus. The rudeness of them. A woman said the other night "If there was a gentleman present they wouldn't let a lady stand". A girl sitting in the bus reading just glanced at her and said "If you're a lady, I've never seen one". Everyone was amused.'
