No, but I've stopped behind one whilst perfectly sober and wondered why the queue was taking so long to move. 5 1 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not quite, but I have on a few occaisions seen people (apparently sober) getting off of busses on Oxford's High Street, trying to stay close to the road because of how busy the pavements are, and quickly hitting their head on the wing mirror (usually then stumbling into the path of all of the people they were trying to stay out of the way of). I've managed to catch my shoulder on one too whilst walking past a bus stop without paying much attention. I feel sorry for the drivers who must get tired of readjusting them. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post alastairq Posted November 9, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted November 9, 2021 Many years ago, whilst a London Transport bus driver, I recall being in traffic going around the New Cross [Marquis of Granby] gyratory system...with dozens {?} of other buses, as well as traffic. Not moving very fast at all, I noted a 'runner' dash out into the busy road, trying to catch a bus not too far on front of me....the bus was just picking up speed [sort-of]...These were the days when rear entrance buses ruled the roost! Anyhow, said fella sprints down the road in front of me, gaining on the bus in front. He leapt for the platform just as the bus suddenly stopped for traffic reasons. However, he misjudged his aim, and, with the bus suddenly halting, found himself spread-eagled across the back window of the bus..the conductor looking out at him through the glass, somewhat amazed...as the runner slowly slid down to the ground. The bus got 5 bells, so stayed put....I stopped as well, just clear of the fella's legs [no drama there]...The conductor of the bus in front got off, went round and picked the fella up, who, by now, was looking somewhat dazed. Fella then looked up at the rear destination blind, and decided he didn't actually want that bus after all, so staggered off... 2 19 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

No injuries, except to my pride, though the driver of a following bus nearly ended himself laughing. However, the bus carried a small puncture wound, caused by a corner of my Setright machine, for many months afterwards. 1 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

If that is the same as me "just having a couple" they must have been absolutely blotto! 1 2 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
