It’s also doubtful that someone complained as they are not usually that fast arriving at the scene of a crime
I then became the subject of his attention and he started kicking and head butting the security screen.
Since when did a service bus require the driver to be protected behind a screen…i give up, this country is lost and all hope with it.
In Glasgow if the security screen is damaged or broken in any way the whole bus cant be taken out of the depot.
They saved my bacon a few times going through Castlemilk and Possil on night service!
A few years back I was in Leeds with a 40’ fridge, delivering eight pallets of meat to a wholesale butcher. There were cars both side of the one way street and I completely blocked the road. The guy came out and told me not to worry as there was another way round so I open the doors, he brings a pump truck, and we start unloading.
It was a beautiful sunny day and every pallet, he goes off up an alleyway for ages, so I sit on the back of the trailer enjoying the cool air from the fridge. So - along comes the inevitable ‘Don’t you know who i am’ (Is that a David Mellor these days?) and pulls up behind me. I hop off and go to tell him that I am sorry but he will have to back up and go round. Of course he is having none of it and goes off on one, then phones the cops.
Three pallets later, I am sitting on the trailer and he is pacing around muttering when a jam sandwich rolls up, He is quickly into gear and harangues the cop for a bit while I watch. Then the cop strolls over to me. I explain that there are only two pallets to go and we chat about the Leeds traffic for a bit, then he goes back to have another word with the Mellor.
As I am closing up the doors, I see him reversing and I stood watching as he burned rubber to set off round the diversion. The cops gave me a friendly wave and followed me out.
