Bus Stop - Long Wait
Modern bus shelters seem bereft of seats and you do need somewhere to read the paper while awaiting for the bus . If your bus service is particularly poor it seems inevitable that you would have read the whole paper by the time the bus shows hence you can tear said paper into squares and leave for others to re-use.

Used to live near Worplesdon towards the end of my school-days. Before reaching the illustrious age of 18 it was not unknown for me to indulge in the odd pint of mild and bitter. (Is that combination still drunk anywhere these days?) There was an excellent, well enclosed bus stop on the Guildford to Aldershot main road just outside the estate where we lived. It was a clever ploy of mine to lie down in there on the comfortable bench seat and breathe deeply for an hour before going home in the hope that my mother would not smell the beer on my breath.
It never worked. :tux::tux::tux::tux:

Another Bête Noire
A bête noire of mine related to buses. Up here in Dunfermline we have an excellent express bus service to Glasgow (every twenty minutes taking around an hour). That is where the buses terminate, that is to where the buses go. Does their indicator board read 'GLASGOW' as would be sensible? No!! It reads something like 'KINCARDINE for GLASGOW' with 'for GLASGOW' in smaller letters'. (For the uninitiated, Kincardine is a small, former mining village in Fife with a moderately famous bridge across the Forth).
Now, I haven't got a clue as to whether Kincardine is for or against Glasgow. The ways and opinions of the natives of Kincardine are somewhat unfathomable. So I am at a loss as to why the managers of Stagecoach have to put the designation on their buses. If Kincardine must get a mention, 'GLASGOW via KINCARDINE' would be very sensible and far less incoherent. Mind, even then it omits reference to far bigger stopping points on the road to Glasgow. But no matter.
I do understand that this method of route designation comes from a directive of the UK Department of Transport - enough said.

Ah yes, "arf and arf" as we used to call it. Half Dark Mild and half Bitter.
Joyful.
(Here in the states you gotta buy and mix it yourself, if you
can even find the Dark Mild.)

I have always been a Mild drinker, but it is getting harder to get here in Norfolk. I tend to use Social Clubs where you can nearly always get it.

In deed it does - some people you provide them with all mod cons and they still stick to the great outdoors!
What am I supposed to be looking at?
There's no pictures or a link.
Yet others can see it it.
You'll have to help me out...
The very first post on this thread has links to two attachments, these two pictures. At leat, that is what I am getting on both my machines.

Over here, half and half is half cream and half milk and is normally used as a coffee creamer. I also use in my tea which caused some raised eyebrows. Really, cream in your tea? Yes, really.
