Speaking as an ex bus driver, the guy clearly meant there was no warning symbol/buzzer going off on the bus dash to let him know the bloody bell had been pushed by a passenger. The bus stopping sign is, as stated, in the saloon, where the driver can’t see it. But speaking from personal experience, filling in a defect card and expecting the fitters to actually put down their brew/■■■ and FIX something is like trying to climb a ladder with your hands tied behind your back.

It can be done, you just need enough angle on the ladder and be able to hold onto the rungs with your teeth…

we used to have a parrot like that who had no feet,he just used to wrap his willy around the perch.
it never bothered him a bit right up until he tragically and suddenly died…

Maybe he wasn’t dead just pineing for the fjords.
Must have had a right pecker on him.
Sorry for your loss.

Probably got a hard on and lost his grip, poor birdy.

The story is supposed to go:
Bloke gets conned into buying a parrot which has no legs.
Bloke finds parrot is remarkably intelligent, teaches the parrot to hold onto his perch by wrapping his todger around it.
Bloke suspects his missus is playing around. Tasks parrot with watching what she is up to while he is away.
Parrot gives detailed account of visit by [personal trainer/tennis coach/milkman] right up to the point where they embraced/kissed.
“Then what happened”
“I fell off my perch…”
Jim comes home to his wife and two teenage daughters.
Jim’s wife says…“Darling, I hope you don’t mind but I’ve adopted a rehomed parrot.”
Jim says: “That’s no problem, parrots are great fun…especially if they can talk.”
“Darling,” says Jim’s wife, “That is a little bit of a problem. The parrot has been rehomed from a brothel, and some of his language is a bit choice. Anyway, I’ll take the cover of his cage now, and you can see for yourself. Please don’t be cross.”
So the cover comes of the cage…
The parrot looks out and says; “Hi Jim, pleased to see you here. New house, new madam, new girls!”

Feels like a deliberate trolling for reactions post to me.
Either that or he’s proven beyond doubt that fitters really are thicker than engine oil and not to be trusted with anything more complicated than a spanner and shouldnt be questioning the driver about things+1 I saw through him the second he mentioned that he fixed fridge units!!! Not on your nelly Mr Bikini
You would not know how to repair a fridge engine/compressor unit if it jumped up and bloody bit you.
Now go away ,you may be able to feed ■■■■ to most of the muppets on here but please have the sense to know when to shut your gob.

The passengers switch it on when they press one of the red buttons in the saloon.This illuminates a ‘bus stopping’ sign in the saloon and sounds a bell, which tells the driver someone wants to leave the bus at the next available stop.
++1 a little hard for the “bretheren” to get a grip of.

May be the previous driver had covered up / displaced the ‘Bus Stopping’ sign. Who could blame him, must be a pain in the arris having to keep stopping all the bloody time. Get it out of town onto the open road and ‘keep her lit’ who wants to be bothered with the great unwashed? Head up onto the A75, tuck in behind a couple of Loggers and its Flat to the Mat all the way up to Glen Trool. Bolloxs with all this passengers wanting to get on and off nonsense, I reckon most of them would enjoy the ride…Love it…sounds a bit like the South Wales Airforce…old coach industry hands will know of whom I speak
Ah the “air force”
The penguins !
Only one in a million flies.

It’s not a case of being unable to get a grip of it - I asked how it works simply because I have had zero experience of bus travel for at least 40 years and have never seen such a device in operation.
