All I remember is earning the wrath of an entire girs' school for calling their Ford truck a bone shaker. Maneno ilifika mpaka staffrooms za shule zote mbili. I was unofficially declared a persona non grata in that school.
School buses of days of yonder were entirely emotional affairs. You could be lynched for as much as laying a hand on a school bus of a rival school for a photo. Kina siku tukiwa form three principal alianua a brand new Isuzu bus (KAB....) after years of scamming parents wakichangia bus. Our only regret was that hakuanua scania 3 series yenye ilikuwa inanyamba dem days. Niliingia form one nikapata the exiting form 4 class waliingia form one enzi zao wakapata bus ikichangiwa.
Hatukuwa tunashikika hizo mitaa. We would insult anyone and everyone who dared look at the bus tukipita through the ever open windows. On school outings, we had self appointed guards specifically stationed near the parked bus kuichunga. One could earn a roughing for as much as leaning on the parked bus.
