Did you go to school in your 40's???? I was under 12 when I went to primary
It's a free bus if over 2 miles, from what I remember, though I know different councils set different parameters.

there is free transport with criteria attached
something like over 3 miles with no other suitable school available
that reminds me JRA, I went on a routemaster bus when in London, it felt like the right thing to do, I didn't realise till we were on it that it was a bit of a moment in time that can't be repeated
route 15 from Trafalgar square to Tower Gateway, but I'm sure you know that
HobbitFeet wrote:I was told route 15 was the last old routemaster route, and that it's being phased out very soon
it was a coincidence though, we would have got the tube but the district line had shut down, then as we waited for the bus we were told if we waited 5 mins we could travel on one of the last routemaster buses - it was just nostalgic and I'm glad my daughter experienced it

the district line was down, we needed to catch the 15 bus to Aldgate East from Trafalgar Sq, we were told if we waited for the one after it would be a routemaster bus, that this was its only route and that they are shortly being withdrawn from service - the downside being that we would need to get off when it terminated at tower gateway and either walk the rest of the way or wait for a 15 that continued on the full route - in general chit chat people don't tend to be this precise, because it's not chat it's just a series of boring facts

It's not surprising he has to pay to get female company.

I like accuracy that's all, as in being helpful. If you want to interpret it differently, what can I do. I thought you were interested that's all. Tell you what, I won't bother next time if you're going to be ungrateful. You do your own research. Fine with me.Guest wrote:HobbitFeet wrote:you know what JRA, this is exactly why nobody wants to have a normal conversation with you, because you can't help yourself, acting supercilious and constantly attempting to correct people

Thanks for the input. Now fuck off and come up with something original and true for that matter.
