Tales of King Commute
 

I worked on the Ribbles buses for several years in the eighties, so here I will post some of my witty (well I think they are! ;D) observations, occurances and acts of stupidity that happened then.

I had just passed my P.S.V. test and was given a place on the work roster (these are masses of work sheets numbered by week covering half a wall), finding these hard to decifer from sanscript to english I noticed that they all ended up saying UFN, not thinking, I asked another driver what UFN stood for, to which he replied "you f***ing know", without cojoining a single brain cell I replied "it can't be that would be UFK", he walked off and it still took several hours for the penny to drop. ???

Doubt if that will be understood by a lot of our regular posters.

I'm mystified. I know what UFO means. That's it, really.

I thought Ribble was a character in Fimbles. Here she is on the right with Bessie (her mummy, apparently!)

You need to go to the calm room until your brain recovers from watching kiddies TV mate :) :)

A phrase that is used when an official hates you and cannot be bothered to answer your question ie out of the office until further notice thats my take on it.

It comes from having little people - they like that sort of thing.

I can name all of the characters in The Fimbles and the Tweenies. We never allowed Teletubbies on in the house, so I don't know all the characters in there, which can only be a good thing...!
