I have tea on its waterside terrace and half an amber ale called Errmmm… from the Strands microbrewery, before flagging the bus down outside.

我在河边的露台上喝茶，还喝了半杯来自绳索微型啤酒厂的名为Errmmm的琥珀色啤酒，然后在外面拦了车。

In the past, doing so meant finding one, flagging it down and telling the driver where you wanted to go, paying, and possibly, adding a tip.

在过去，这样做意味着找到一个，标记它并告诉司机你想去哪里， 支付，并可能添加小费。
