The bus driver joke reminded me of an incident in the late 70s whilst working for the Tracky....true story....2 of the lads decided to have a laugh after one of them found a white stick ....and donned a pair of sunglasses ( which a lot of blind folk wore at the time)...anyway off they set from the canteen ...down towards the Royston bus which was parked at the stand....the guy with the stick tapping away whilst holding on to the arm of the other.....on to the bus they get and the guy with the glasses is helped into the saddle ( drivers seat ) With the instructions ...that's the sterring wheel there's the hand brake gear lever that position is reverse . the far pedal is the accelerator and that pedal is the brake........right let's go ......turning to the passengers ....he says shortage of drivers folk ...you should have seen the clamour to get off the bus ..
I found my first grey public hair yesterday, I didn’t think it was a big deal but everyone else in the lift thought it was.
A new supermarket opened near where I live. It has one of those automatic water misters to keep the veg fresh. As it turns on you hear the sound of distant thunder and the smell of fresh rain. When you approach the milk display you hear cows mooing and experience the scent of fresh hay. When you get to the eggs section you hear hens clucking and smell the wonderful aroma of bacon and eggs frying. As you approach the seafood section you can hear waves crashing against the rocks, and the salty ozone smell of the ocean. I mean, it’s really great and all that but I’ve had to stop buying my toilet paper there
Our lass the other day. "Give it to me! Give it to me!" she yelled. "I'm so wet, give it to me now!" She could scream all she wanted, but I was keeping the umbrella.
