Grump because my wife phoned and said that some cunt had bumped the A4 in Tesco car park this morning and fucked off.

Not anything like as bad as I was expecting, barely noticeable on fact and it's certainly not the first time this bumper has been bumped anyway. Just as well its an old car.

All sorted:

Still looks decent:

The reason she knew someone had bumped the car is because someone else left a note on the windscreen giving the make, model, colour and reg plate of the car that bumped into mine, which was very good of them. I was going to call the police and leave it at that but considering there's no damage done then I'm just going to forget about it.

I bet you have a lot of Roman around in those shoes. 😁

I bet the excuse for not purchasing this is - the wrong engine.

Bloody Maxist  think that they can park anywhere.

So far from the Channel 205 UK there are 3 videos about his imported Peugeot Hoggar pickup.

First one collection day.

 I keep getting YT links that will not allow the video to be embedded. I hope it is YT not the fourm.

To add to the above it would seem that RMs were  running on the 62s for  9 months.

Yes, but even in multicultural London Scots are too hard to understand 😂 we have a Scottish cafe at Angel now though so integration is a matter of time.

Quite possibly; Barking, from memory, had the shortest lived RM conversion in London - @Yoss may be able to confirm - as the 62 converted from RT to RM operation in 4/79, then again to T operation by February 1980.

Dad never drove RMs at Barking. He did drive then at Upon Park when he first went on the buses.  Route 15. We got to see the Christmas lights for free for 2 years, riding on the top deck at the front. He wanted to work at Barking as it was just a 20 min walk away.  He had to wait for a vacancy to work at Barking. Edit: I should say the route he mainly worked on was the 87. I believe he  only wanted to work a crew bus. However, when the  RTs were withdrawn he was given no choice but to convert to OMO buses. I do not remember RMs at Barking, that maybe is because I was living in Hampshire by that the time the book says they where used on the 62s

The days the driver does not have much interaction with the passengers do they. I thought screens and the oyster card (or what ever it is called) put and end to the need to talk to each other. Even the stop announcements are automatic. Driving OMO buses when the Titan was introduced was very different.

I think Dad drove Titan's after the RTs were withdrawn. He dose not do WhatsApp so I have to rely on relying messages via my sister. I will see if I can find out.

@cms206 Well done you for a long stint away from home. Great post above.

I was going to ask if you could take a photo of the staff area in Barking for my Dad, he turned 90 around a month ago. I do not know even if that would have been possible to take photos inside those areas.

I assume that was inside Barking. Nether of those buses run the routes on the blinds. I was getting "excited" that maybe Dad had driven one of them. http://www.countrybus.org/Titan/TNa.htm

Is this taken from the pub on the opposite side of South Park Drive? It used to be called the Royal Oak. I assume that is one of the preserved Titans.

I will try and get my sister to show dad the photos.
