Me Mam was a Bus Conductor for over forty years Jem, bless her soul. She's issuing tickets for that long journey to the pearly gates (or otherwise) on a foggy night I can still hear her shouting 'Any more fares please?' In all of her forty years she never had any trouble, even on a Saturday night when all the drunks would board the last bus. She was regularly faced with the statement - 'Are you going to give me a fourpenny one or are you going to toss me off!' It wouldn't be acceptable these days with cries of 'Abuse' She used to take it in the spirit it was offered, as a harmless bit of fun.Re: Gumbud Leisurely Scribbles (part 3)
Exactly Bob, good bit of fun and everyone understood one another and never took offence, good honest hard working people who laughed at life and helped each other along the way, far different than today sadly, where everything is money and you have to choose your words carefully with folks.Re: Gumbud Leisurely Scribbles (part 3)
