myglaren Posted September 2, 2020 Share Posted September 2, 2020 Quote Sat at a junction and the co driver says clear after the bus. Bus goes past and driver pulls out. Screech of brakes and driver looks up to see a bus almost on top of him. I thought you said it was clear after the bus. I meant the second one was the co drivers reply. Similar situation sitting at a junction and co driver says clear after the boat. Driver thinks he's taking the piss, pulls out and runs into the side of a boat on a trailer.

SRi05 Posted September 3, 2020 Share Posted September 3, 2020 Joab joabed. The pixels on these x300's displays always go, you couldn't read the radio display at all, and the clock is also bust. The speakers are pretty decent in this thing so the unit is a nice wee upgrade. Only £35 on amazon. Didn't even swear that much putting it back together.

I'm sorry, but you need to be declared fit by the consultant, and take a fit note to your return to work interview. Why are you thinking of returning? Are you mad? Seriously.

3VOM Posted September 4, 2020 Share Posted September 4, 2020 Think the writer forgot a break between "Southport" and "within easy walking distance for St Annes". And it isn't that close to the town centre. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

New POD Posted September 5, 2020 Share Posted September 5, 2020 13 hours ago, busmansholiday said: Please tell me that my geographical knowledge of the UK is slightly different to the bits in "other info" at the start of this; Southport is less than 8 miles from Blackpool. The number of recruitment agencies who have suggested It would be an easy commute from Formby, to Blackpool haven't factored in the Ribble. Last time it took an hour and 10 mins in a car. The coast guard will tell you that at least 3 or 4 call outs a year come from people who decided to walk down the beach. Once they get to the River Ribble they are 4 miles out, and if the tide starts coming in, it's a very flat beach. And a quick tide. Obviously the tide stops coming in about a mile from shore because Southport is the only seaside town with a pier that lost its sea. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
