Just in case you are wondering where the drunks are going to sit now, I can tell you! IN MY BUS STOP!!!!

As I have mentioned before, the average age of customers on my local bus run is around 80 years old and they get the bus in Bridge St.

Several times over the past couple of weeks, drunks have taken over the bus stop and my customers have stood away from the stop rather than use the little "bum rests" that the council call seats.

On one occasion, I had to call the police to scrape up a drunk that had slid off the bench and was soundly asleep on the pavement. His daughter came along, (shouted "Dad, dad.") kicked him in the stomach, shrugged when she got no response and walked off. (she was also out of it)

The police attended sometime after my phone call, called an ambulance but the drunk recovered and was allowed to stagger off.
