| The woman who spends her nights on a London bus - Everyone should have a hobby |
| 2019-01-14 |
| [BBC] A woman who lives in sheltered accommodation spends several nights every week riding on London's night buses in order to meet people. Carol says nobody speaks to her when she is at home so she goes looking for company on public transport. About 1.4 million older people in England are chronically lonely, according to Age UK. |

| #4 Carol says nobody speaks to her when she is at home so she goes looking for company on public transport. She just needs to learn how to cook. |

| #1 I chat with strangers if the opportunity presents itself — I’ve met some of the most interesting people that way. Kudos to this woman for finding an easy way to meet a basic need that is not being met where it ought to have been. |
