This put me in mind of the late, great Reg Varney. How I miss his saucy banter.

Reg Varney (as Stan the X78 Sheffield to Rotherham driver): “Ere, Blakey, I can’t drive that bus .. . it’s gay!”

Blakey: “Gay?”

Stan: “Yeah, it’s pink and it’s holding its wing mirrors at a funny angle.”

Blakey: “Wing mirrors at a funny angle?”

Stan: “Yeah, and the passengers have filled it full of tents.”

Blakey: “Tents?”

Varney: “Yeah, they’re going camping” (wheezing chortle).

Jack: “Ere. Stan, me ticket machine’s all loose and dangly . . . “

Varney: “You need to adjust that leather strap.”

Blakey: “Wotch out! If you undo that buckle, it won’t just be his ticket machine that’s all loose and dangly . . . hur, hur, hur.”

Olive: “The milkman’s just whistled at me.”

Varney: “He probably thought you woz his ‘orse.”

Blakey: “ I ate you, Butler.”

Jack: “You don’t have to worry about Stan. He’s been my driver for 10 years and he’s never tried to kiss me once!”

FADE . . . :hihi:

I didnt think worst bus could scrape the bottom of the barrel in terms of an excuse not to get us from A to B on time. What I find unusal for this bus driver is he actually gave the passengers an explanation why he would not be picking them up. Normally its the usual "I dont know luv just got ere".

 

I also find it ironic that the advert is actually aimed at this particular bus driver :hihi: As most people are actually over it.

Passengers on the X78 Rotherham to Sheffield service had to wait 20 minutes before a new driver took the controls.

 

Funny that because the X78s run one every ten minutes. Does this then mean that Worst also failed to run as advertised ?

Might have been a Sunday meaning he wasnt just upset about the advert but also his time with God.
