God - everything was like this in the 70s when the Unions ruled the world. A few of these 'customers are scum' rather than those that pay our wages industries still exist - interestingly ther are split between heavily unionised industries (think tube and buses) and banks......

"One thread, even two (I'm sure I've seen reference in other places) is more than enough must we really continue this line of moaning?"


If people don't like something then they've got every right to complain.

Anyway KK, most of the posts on this thread are from you so you can't complain that it is being prolonged.


I'm sure that generally most bus drivers are okay but if this guy is half as bad as everyone says then he's got the boot coming. Although that will probably cause a general London wide day of strike action by the tube drivers so maybe we should just put up with his arrogance for the public good.

I reckon he's hacked off with the widespread use of Oysters and passes as there is now not much cash being used on buses any more, therefore no chance of having a little fiddle now and again.

He probably burns with indignation at having to pay for his own beer nowadays.

I am with Kel on this one as I said before with all the angry Nigel business checking tickets is part of the job providing its gone about in a decent polite way. If its the gentleman you dub "angry Nigel" alot of what I read on here about him is clearly made up somewhat.

I am so intrigued about this driver I am going to spend a day looking for him. Can someone give me a more detailed description please? I am disabled & have a Freedom Pass so I could really ham it up, ask him not to move the bus until I have sat down, ask him to detail his route & suggest improvements to his customer service. Obviously, I'd do all this outside rush hours.....


As & when he flips his lid, I'll take a few photos of him & perhaps tape him on my mobile, as we sit, immobile, at the roadside.


& yes, I am serious....

I love the way certain people rush on here to defend rude bus drivers. Ah, the poor little working classes, how can we expect them to do their jobs properly? Diddums.


Whereas if the middle-class person serving you your olives in the East Dulwich Deli was rude you'd be on here straight away moaning to everyone. Why the double standard?

      Interesting, because I am finding it next to impossible to get an appointment at Tessa Jowell.

      There's always a large flock(?) over the area of back gardens surrounded by Colyton / Dovedale / Marmora / Scutari, but no idea if / where there are any nesting boxes. We'd love to have one, and often have swifts zooming close by, checking out possible sites.

      I would have thought the cost of erecting X meters of metal barriers would be the same irrespective of location, plus given the issues with access now due to the "bunds", it would also be easier given the ample direct access the common provides? The reason I've heard from the organisers is that their footprint has been tailor made for that part of the park, so it's not possible to fit it anywhere else. Which is a ridiculous argument given that  they've already altered / extended it due to the space they've 'lost' from the "bunds". The reason I've heard from FOPR and others is that as the common is public land (or similar) it requires permission from the Home Secretary (or similar) due to ancient grazing rights or something. Oddly it doesn't seem to have affected the circus, the steam fair, the dog show etc etc etc Yes, the wide path where Parkrun starts & finishes will become a controlled crossing during the build, and completely closed off during the festival. Also, when I asked about the reason for the extended footprint onto the sports pitch, they said it was to replace lost space where the bunds are, which they used to store equipment. However, they were unable to explain where this storage area now was on the new plan... And when asked about the loss of the sports pitch due to the extension & access road, they said the council had assured them there were no matches booked for that period. But what about the kids, families, who play on them? No answer...
