My bus, and passengers threatened by yobs
Discussion
Seriously what goes on in these people's minds?? Furious!
Earlier I took a coach load of passengers and a courier-guide on a shopping trip. We parked the in the coach park and they got out with their guide to go shopping and look around town.
2 hours later my passengers who were mostly foreign students children and a few adults and tourists (hence why I had a courier/ guide) got back to the coach. The courier looked a bit stressed but I didn't think much of it.
Once everyone was on the coach I pulled out a few moments later a group of yobs with cans of lager stepped right out in front of my coach. They pulled down trousers and mooned, shouted abuse and banged on side of my coach. I blasted the horn but they refused to move and it just made them worse shaking their beer and squirting it on my window screen.
Next thing was I heard a yell and my courier screamed the poor lad jumped out of his skin, a sruffy skinny yob had walked up behind him and yelled in his ear. I was furious he stood around grinning with a can and stinking of booze then flirting with the female language teacher ( who was also horrified) Opposite the guide. After yelling several times to get off my bus he did, luckily I was bigger than him.
It turns out this filthy yob had got in the coach through the centre door and hid in the toilet, which was filthy with his mess and stinking of cigarette smoke. I will bloody well not have that sort of thing on my coach smoking, boozing and messing the place up.
The other yobs cheered when he got off and continued to yell abuse before moving on. One of them stayed around a bit staring at the guide, who was shaken after he said they'd intimidated him in the bus station concourse earlier that day. The lad who was their guide was only young on his college summer break.
Luckily the students etc cheered up their guide by praising him as there hero
. But It took me an hour to clean out the coach toilet. Bloody Disgusting. Also was totally ashamed that kids and tourists on my coach had to see this filthy disgusting behaviour, what a great image for our country and heritage. Not.
I mean you can understand it on a Saturday night but not drunk out of their minds on a weekday afternoon.
Seriously what the hell goes on in these yobs small minds?
Have they really got nothing in the world better to do like get a hobby or take up swimming or something??? What the hell makes them tick??

I only encountered this sort of incident in France. Our translator and a few of the players' wives/girlfriends had come running back to the tour bus chased by a group of jeering yobs while we were stopped in Belfort 
They had a bit of a shock when the rugby squad piled out of the coach
OP: I hope you and those on your coach are ok. It is not a nice experience, especially when you know there's little you can do to stop them

Do you have cameras on the bus? I'd be sending it all to the police if you do. Mindless stuff like this annoys the hell out of me. Visitors to our country should be welcomed and have a good time on their holidays, not go through this, like you said it completely ruins a country's reputation to the people who were subject to it.
I was talking to a German guy a couple of months ago, he said that he had a friend in Germany who worked as an escort/interpreter for school tours of the UK.
He said the friend told him that he'd been escorting some half a dozen 15-17 y.o. German kids in Weymouth, and they'd gone into the bus station there, and while waiting, 3 or 4 chavs came along and started spitting at the kids, not attacking them physically, just name calling and spitting.

We have one but it's a bit unreliable or at least the formatting is, but our IT guy is trying to sort It out. Hope the video recorded or can be retrieved. The guide has not said much only that he was intimidated and threatened by them in the bus/ coach station concourse and loos. They made fun of his uniform at first etc then made threats they might have offered him a fight or something I don't know as he didn't say a lot, but he was quite shaken. They were strangers to him as he lives over a hundred miles away from the town. He really needs to talk to police, hopefully he will but it's a different police force area.
It's such a shame everything went so well in the morning he was a great guide pointing things out places of interest and helping the students and tourists. He was doing it part time during college holidays. Not to mention my coach was immaculate I'd spent the previous evening cleaning it inside and out.
Also I'm stupid for not asking my passengers if they'd had any encounters with these yobs. Some of them being children from abroad might have been threatened by the gang.
It's beyond belief as far as I know that gang might get drunk every day and have a go at innocent people. Do they really have nowt better to do?

Where did this happen?
Was like a one way side road behind the bus station with a pedestrian crossing, buses only I think. But they ran onto the crossing causing me to stop suddenly as I was almost on the line. Was only doing about 5mph, it was a 20 zone if I remember. They stood in front refusing to move then started the abuse. They knew their mate had got on my coach when we were parked in the station and they stopped me so he could get off to join them, it's all a bloody game to them. It's how they get through life I guess....
In future I will either keep the toilet locked or check it for stowaways before we leave.
