Dear, dear what a cossetted lot we are - public transport's almost a dirty word on here - personally, I think we're lucky to have it and it's certainly lucky that your pensioners can get out of their lovely little bungalows and got hither and thither for free whenever the fancy takes them. I can't wait to get my free bus pass, if it's still on the go by then, my Senior Citizen's Railcard, my 25% discount at Specsavers......and....and....and!<br />ps not all UK buses require a tetanus shot before boarding.Between Me and Youhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04863155145862706966noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-52308732687683783962013-11-09T21:32:12.281+00:002013-11-09T21:32:12.281+00:00That's absolutely hilarious.

A young lady arrived just before the bus and politely waited for me to get on, however, I noticed she had change in her hand so I let her get on before me. The Polish bus drivers tell you off if you don't have the right change,but I knew he would be able to give me change from her fare!Janethttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16147299200960914730noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-58837853116063889342013-11-09T20:17:58.252+00:002013-11-09T20:17:58.252+00:00We have a lovely bus that goes from Nelson all the...We have a lovely bus that goes from Nelson all the way to Manchester, the X43 Witch Way (Pendle connection - witches).

Stand and try and shuffle off as quickly as possible. else you will be behind someone who doesn't move quickly enough and they start to drive off again. do not touch your face ever 3, get off and sanitise your hands. 4, avoid pension day if you can. 5, always have the exact amount. 6, queue properly. people are becoming very vocal about people who jump the line. Not only here but I also saw this in Liverpool. along the lines of "We queue in this country, the end is back there" (Ive put that nicely, the word used need lots of "$%^*^%£::@@) <br /><br />it can be quite stressful and would for sure put you off your scotch egg.Solhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10518631542782309728noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-30645550612782178892013-11-09T19:46:06.102+00:002013-11-09T19:46:06.102+00:00Some people genuinely get symptoms of shock if the...Some people genuinely get symptoms of shock if they are unused to public transport and use it, especially if it is crowded or noisy.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-67576268524334108102013-11-09T19:42:54.018+00:002013-11-09T19:42:54.018+00:00what great bus waiting entertainment!what great bus waiting entertainment!jaz@octoberfarmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17249328159454897124noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-20303812.post-9682455982520060732013-11-09T19:22:12.872+00:002013-11-09T19:22:12.872+00:00This is hilarious!
