used to be a saddo that chatted to the school bus driver. We had a few regular double decker buses that were used - some Leyland DAF's, some Volvos, one double-rear axle Leyland DAF, and 3 Leyland-DAFs with Volvo engines in and mysteriously dysfunctional limiters...

I saw 70 on the clock doing down a B road hill in one of the last 3. Apparently it was originally meant to be doing routes including some motorways between stops...

There was one bus that was specced for North Wales and couldn't get above 50 but it'd go up hills all day at 50 instead of slowly crawling up at about 20 with the driver trying to kick-down all he could.

We used to have a Leyland Tiger at a previous employer. It had started life as a coach, and was rebodied as a service bus. So, a coach-spec chassis and drivetrain, and a lightweight alloy bus body. And the speed limiter was broken.

Never did work out the top speed, the numbers on the speedo stopped at 80mph.

I know what I meant to say...

Having owned the Audi for two years almost to the day, I took it in for MoT earlier. I bought it on 118,000 miles and it's now 166,000. Straight through with one advisory for new rear pads in 2,000 miles time.

Ay thang yo.

The tester was determined to find something then.

Nice one Dicky

What a pleasant weekend, decent footie (apart from my team, who I hope will give a decent account of themselves next week at that there Wembley). Hosted an improbably entertaining Eurovision evening on Saturday, with some guests returning on Sunday, worked a while, slept a while and finished today off with a late roast beef dinner.

Found this today, unlikely but.... Spear Of Destiny doing traditional English folk music, not sure

Also booked two holidays on Saturday (I've had but three days off so far this year so )
A week in Costa Adeje at the end of July, back for two weeks and then a week in Playa Blanca

Without looking them up ,I'm guessing both of those places are Spanish

type destinations.

Canaries (it's been that kind of weekend <but you need to follow fuss ball to get that> )

[iva cosworth]

I only realised it was Champers play off today ,assuming yellow team won.

(Goes off to check)

[Fun Bus]

When in Playa you must have a full English at the Irish Anvil, and a lazy lunch at Lani's at the marina. Oh, and dinner at Romantica is always a pleasure.

But then you may already know all that?!

Nah, the play off was of secondary interest to the cricket today (my claret and blue lot have an FA Cup final next Saturday for the first time since 2000 and I have an outsider's hope above expectation given the opposition )

FB will take a look, breakfasts are always at the hotel (Princesa Yaiza) but lunch and dinner are anywhere we fancy; I love that place

[Justayellowbadge]

I've not been to the Canaries. Or me.

I've been to Paradise, but I've never been to me.

[iva cosworth]

Ever been to Amarillo ?

I know the way.....

[drivin_me_nuts]

Turn left , down the highway to hell

[Justayellowbadge]

Amarillo?

Crunchy on the outside, chewy on the inside.
