Have to agree with Cashman on this .....During the late 60s I don't ever remember any bother on the last bus out of Accy on weekend nights to Clayton/Gt Harwood , as for 'blue' language forget it , any use of the f or c word would have seen you thrown off in no time and not by the conductor but by the fellow passengers , everyone had been out for good night , and the bus ride home was a "neutral zone' last chance to maybe meet a lass, most of the folks knew each other or knew someone who knew them, the last thing anyone wanted was to get a reputation as an d**khead .
(what amazes me now, looking back is that there were no public lavs around the Melbourne st. bus stop (a 5 pound fine for taking a leak in a back street) and a bus ride to Arrod after about 8 pints or so is how I managed to make home every night ........)
