Pensioner Rides The Bus All Day To Keep Warm

[Notch7]

Have another go at reading the post. Tell us, for example, how that business earned out of giving him a free glass of water and free electricity to charge his phone. He spent nothing but took something. Work it out.

You begrudge somebody having a glass of water.

you old misery

Great place for a good full English.

I like the fact they've saved very many interesting buildings & given them a new purpose in life, but good food it certainly isn't.

Tunbridge Wells Opera house is an amazing building, it make a fantastic pub

it was an opera house, that became a bingo hall for a bit then shut down and was left empty for years.

Yeah, I admire him for saving the buildings, but why does he target a 'trash' demographic to fill 'em with?

Because it obviously pays? I thought you, as a Titan of industry, would know that.

I admire his business genius, for he surely is.

But why can't that genius be channelled into filling these venues with a demographic that doesn't seek cider at 9.00am & eat microwaved chips with their fingers?

I think he left a gap in the market for you to fill. Off you go.....

The weather cast is showing hot for next week where we live. Think about this thread and i asked if buses were warm in winter as I've not been on one for donley's years, do buses have climate control?? Those new flash buses that are round back and front in london and have three sets of doors, I'm sure they have climate control but what about the majority of londons fleet??

 

[Dork Lard]

do buses have climate control??

Not many people know this, but the whole worlds climate is controlled from the top deck of a London bus.

At 07.48 every work day morning, it is a chap that gets on the 88 Clapham to Spittalgate, clutching his freshly printed copy of The Guardian, who defines the worlds weather for the next 10 millenia during his 28.13 minute commute to his desk at the Ministry of Bureaucracy. If he's running slightly late then it's gonna rain, if the driver didn't ask for payment then it's sunshine for a week. If he's sat next to the "nutter on the bus" then it's winter, if he is the "nutter on the bus" then everythings normal innit guv'nor.

The current rising prices are due to the funny money created by Boris and co for covid. This is payback time. Labour cannot now complain about pensioners being unable to pay for heating because, as we know, Labour were all for earlier lockdowns and higher covid spending.

We've been out as usual to spend money and bite to eat. As we say outside a place to eat drinking and eating I noted the people on the bueses looked really hot.
Lovely weather in London but downside is possibly no climate control on buses and trains or heating when needed, welll proper heating. Having said that I don't want to pay more taxes for something I rarely use and not been on a bus for donkeys years

You seem to be confusing this discussion forum for an online diary.

As far as I'm aware, nobody on here gives a f**k what you've been doing, where you've been or what you've been buying.

 

[ReganAndCarter]

Correct me if I'm wrong, but aren't all Weatherspoons customers 'deadbeats'?

Just back from all day in town and 'Spoons brekkie. Had the large full English and bottomless mug of tea. All excellent and great value for money. £7.50 inc. 2 mugs of Tetley. Anyone paying more elsewhere has more money than sense.

One I use is right opposite Bristol University. You do get a handfull of hard core daily drinkers, who are never a problem. But 95% of customers are ordinary people, office workers and lots of students. Betting that many judging 'Spoons wrongly haven't ever been in one.

Hands up, I've judge them here and like you said, I've never been in one.

The one in town near a place I worked at, I'd cross the road as those peering out or hanging outside it were to me best avoided.

the 7-50, a bargain mate a real bargain

the punters he get, are whoever is local.

in a student area, it's students. In a leisure county town, it's people on a day out. in a city centre, it's office workers. I know a town previously full of retired dockyard workers; and spoonies used to be full of retired dockyard workers tipping cheap beer down their necks all day. they've all drunk themselves to death now. it's full of school run mummies in the afternoon.

I deduce that you live in an area with a lot of down and outs and deadbeats.
