Or pop over to a friend or relatives not seen in a while...the possibilities are endless...and could make for some funny stories. <br />A friend's son told her that the night bus, often full with drunk students, sometimes detours and drops them off at their houses.

We had a funny bus incident recently...whereby the 657 to St Albans had a new driver who didn't know the route.Thus every now and then he'd shout:'left or right here?'

'm afraid theIshenanigans of addled bureaucrats are beyond the comprehension of sane people - but good luck with campaign!<br />Here's my recent bus story: There we were on a brand new bus, just up the road from the central police station, and the driver was obviously still finding his way around the fancy array of buttons, when by accident he pressed some emergency button setting off a very loud siren. Passengers and passing pedestrians alike, shrugged their shoulders, assuming it's got a nothing to with me expression, and stoically ignored it. Next thing we know the bus is surrounded with three police cars, lights flashing, their sirens adding to the cacophony and we're boarded with the local equivalent of the anti-terrorist squad. Yes, we - the passengers that is - had a good laugh - and the police took it all in their stride. As for the poor bus driver, he now knows better than to press that button!Teagan Kearneyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13864654573656208478noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-39046160358506159412014-05-07T00:27:59.602-07:002014-05-07T00:27:59.602-07:00Go Carol! *punches the air with fist and simultane...Go Carol! *punches the air with fist and simultaneously checks for snails* the 4x4 lot in my part of the world could do with running the gauntlet with your bus driver! :-) Shelley Wilsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07513209160436996810noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2681775564258628407.post-32564423058935800172014-05-05T11:45:31.840-07:002014-05-05T11:45:31.840-07:00Go Carol *whoop! whoop!* :)
