Who knew Craig/ Used to hang around the fairground when it came to Woodhouse, had a speech impediment and a nervous twitch. He liked to help out on the fairground. Sometimes Craig would sit next to you on the bus and chat which would embarass most people.

Then there was Stan, heavy built lad at Handsworth he use to pretend to be a bus conductor, he would let people on and off busses shout things like "standing room Only" or "Move down the bus" / "Room Upstairs"

Or there was that kid in town who used to chase the buses, I remember him as a kid, I once told him to F**k off and he chased the bus all the way from the Markets past the old bank leading onto Pond Hill, to the now built SB's, jesus, he just looked at me (a scared little 11 year old) and ran straight past the bus for the next one. I have seen that Stan kid, I'm sure he is still around, if not someone has taken over from him, saw a kid on 52 recently and he was ordering eeryone about, asking young un's to stand up for the old folk. Love it!!!
