  • We got a word for these people, we call 'em GROCKLES!!!

    Pancakes for the title reference.

    B/G: Okay, well, every Saturday during term-time we go into Winchester. Now Winch has a brilliant Park&Ride system, with big green buses going into the city and taking people in and out from large car parks to the east and south. The south car park is very new, and huge.

    A few weeks ago we (me and my housemate) were the only people on board. The bus came into the single-lane bus road that led into the car park, only to find that some yobs had buried what was later revealed to be a log under some leaves, disguised as an autumn-strewn speed bump - nope, the log jammed under the bus and made it rattle crazily - the bus driver had to stop and radio for help, because the wodged obstacle was dangerously close to the air brakes. Another bus came soonish, and we were able to walk down into the car park back to the car and warn several other people aiming to see Winch's Xmas lights waiting at the bus station that there would be a delay because of the breakdown. They thanked us and settled down in the warm room of the bus station.

    So fast-forwards to this Saturday gone...and we were on the bus again, and gossiping with the bus driver about the above...and we got an update. Those lovely people who were thankful for our news? Yeah they weren't as nice as they seemed, 'cause they ripped the hapless bus drivers a new one for not getting the broken-down bus to them straight away, and made a massive complaint to management...

    Yes because you MUST see the Xmas lights LIEK NAO. XP Stupid tourists. The spirit of King Alfred will come and kick your arse.
