Sadly, the thing that struck my most was the random bits of tarmac patching up the roads and looking terrible - clearly not a new problem!!

Sharpie Posted June 14, 2021 Share Posted June 14, 2021 53 minutes ago, Radio Ga Ga said: I remember being on a bus and seeing Dave Scougal a good friend and two other Scots Guardsmen standing at Burtons. They looked so smart, their uniforms all pressed, and the peak of their hats over their eyes guards style. They were having a good laugh about something, and I thought it looks like a really good place to be. Two and a half years later I was in that exact same spot with a couple of other guardsmen, just back from Egypt, and having a laugh about something and I thought this is what life is all about. They were good times, companionship, pride, and meaning in life. Many more different, but the same feeling this is what life is about, friends, love ,companionship, commitment, ambition, success and retirement to savour all of lifes gifts.

Never understood the fare stage. Used to have them on the tickets when there were no conductors and on the bus stops but meant nothing to me. The inspector knew what he was looking at when he came on and could work out if you paid the right money.

You went in the rear door 😀and the conductor was sitting at a table. This didn't last long. I'm sure it was just a demonstrator.
