    My mate got kicked out of Donny baths for taking a pi*s in't deep end.
    He tried reasoning with the lifeguard by saying " everybody pis*es in't watter man."
    Lifeguard wasn't having any of it he said " aye but they don't do it off top splash board
    ger art yer dirty sod" and barred him.!

    Harry, the well known driver who always drove the Kendray, Bank End and Worsborogh routes actually game me one that was broke when I were a kid. He was a top fella. I used to have the get the Bus to my Grandad's house daily to check on him, and because Harry knew him well he used to let me on for free on the proviso I told my Grandad he had asked about him...

    Not caught a bus for about 10 years now so assume he's retired, but I often wonder if he's still with us...
