We had one or two for ya Doc me old tater, dim problem

Oh, but Tizzy was disappointed mate, she was over like a rash last time you were here. Sam was asking after you as well!
Bless him, he got quite pissed off when I told he couldn't come down the pub with me and Jay! Christ - he's not even 9 and he wants to get pissed with the lads!!!

And your point is???

he's all man!
Sorry mate, believe, I'd much rather have been sat in a nice warm pub than freezing my moobs off under yet another pileOshite bus..

Talking of buses, I picked up a book for 50p in a 2nd hand shop, on the history of buses in uk. Starting with the earliest Daimlers, it Seems quite comprehensive, with plenty of photo's.

Bet there's no Lances in it though!

I aint got to 1920 yet

Hey Doc it's cool mate, seriously, but at the same time we missed you. Always next time mate

Oh Doc. where fore art thou Doc???

Twasn't quite the same without thy presence! But, we'll get you next time!!!

Besides, you've got a holiday down here to attend to make up for it!

Actually Jay, myself and Smiffy are taking the oilypan down to Penzance in April for a running day. The running day is on the Sunday, but we are coming down on the Saturday, so we shant be far away!

Then a meeting is booked!

Bet there's no Lances in it though!

Apparently not Docers. It only goes up to the period when your lot destroyed, sorry, deristricted everything. Or were they only carrying out labour policies then as well

no no, that was all tory, and should have been a good thing, had the likes of Stagecoach, First and Arriva not been allowed to get so big.

It actually didn't turn out so bad up here. GMPTE, pretty much controlled what went on, Stagecoach is not here, Arriva, and First have a share, but we have about 6 small local companies also delivering a service with only some duplication of routes.
s***h Lancs travel and Blue bus being the most prolific.

errrr what's GMTV got to do with anything?

germpty, be greater manchester passenger transport authority who was responsible for running all bus, tram, train services. They didn't fade into the background like in other parts of the country, but organised the resultant chaos and, more importantly, issue my bus pass.
