wyrdharley Posted March 12, 2009 Share Posted March 12, 2009 He took the roof off a bus when he hit a low bridge when he was at Metrobus in Orpington, so I do not think he will get the sack for anything he does now ...:) Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5488-185/page/2/#findComment-180621 Share on other sites More sharing options...

Applespider Posted March 13, 2009 Share Posted March 13, 2009 I know they can be useful Sue but sometimes I find them just set a little overly loud so that every time it tells me that it's a 185 bound for Victoria, it knocks me out of my book that I'm engrossed in. You do get used to them but I'd love a little more volume control.On the funny side, since they are so new on the 185, I do think some of the drivers are taking the opportunity to try all the messages out. I was reminded many times last night to be sure my belongings were with me at all times and to report anything suspicious to the driver.

It is absolutely ridiculous to put somebody in prison for spitting. A fine or community service, perhaps (even that is extreme) but a prison sentence is just ridiculous.

I like to think I live in a society where there is a sanction for someone who thinks it's OK to gob in my face. If a person is scummy and ill-mannered enough to do it then they should suffer a consequence.Though not overly macho, my inclination would be a left hand throat-grip and a right hand nose-punch for anyone degenerate enough to insult me with their bodily fluids.

Prison is meant to the sentence used when the offence is so very serious that no other form of sentence is harsh enough to fit the crime. Someone gobbing at you doesn't fall into that category. It's a waste of public funds to place such a person in jail. They are hardly a danger to society A caution or a fine is more than enough.

dulwichdreadlocks Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 I had quite a weird situation on the 185 today. I am wondering if I encountered 'Nigel'? Link to comment https://www.eastdulwichforum.co.uk/topic/5488-185/page/2/#findComment-181695 Share on other sites More sharing options...
ruffers Posted March 16, 2009 Share Posted March 16, 2009 So did I. Nigel was driving, the bus stopped and accelerated smoothly, he was polite to the person with a paper travelcard, and he didn't do the siren when we encountered another bus.Very weird.

I think spitting is a really aggressive gesture and would want to press charges if this ever happened to me again.
