Not allowed to carry tins of paint on bus

MrSki said:
Plus the bag is more likely to split & spill the paint than just carrying by the handle incorporated in the design of the tin.;)

Exactly, which is why you should hold the handle and the carrier bag, which is a giveaway to any bus driver in the know, hence the holdall

Got on bus this afternoon with a tin of paint and driver told us we're not allowed to. Informed us that tins of paint/aerosols and the like were not allowed on buses as they were flammable. Not sure how they go about treating you if you're carrying water-based paints :hmm:

We'd just got off another bus carrying the same tin of paint.

He asked us how far we were going and we told him so he relented.

How many drivers enforce this do you think?

Did you know this was even the case?

Was he just on a power trip? :hmm:

Put it in a plastic bag.
 
Got stopped from getting a 365 (TFL) because I had a florescent tube. "It could break and be dangerous" said the jobsworth bint of a driver. Has she looked around and seen what lights the inside of the bus?

1) The tube is fluorescent - I'm sure you didn't mean to imply that it was in bloom.
2) The driver would probably have been just as much a jobsworth no matter which genitals they had, so let's leave sex (including dodgy labels) out of this.
3) The fluorescent tubes used for lighting are fixed out of the way, the one you were carrying clearly wasn't.
4) Yours, I believe:

how long have you been saving that image, so as to bring it out for the right moment?

Believe it or not, I only found it a few seconds before finishing that post. Should I have saved it for a more deserving cause?

There are things I will forgive - being mistaken for Dwyer (who offered to use "darling" in that context) is unlikely to be one of them.

Edited to add: I don't think he'd be that flattered at having one of my verbal tics conflated with his either.

Whole bus full of passengers turfed off a No. 45 today in Gresham Road because someone spilled their whole cup of coffee. :mad:

Ban coffee drinkers from buses :D:mad:

Was not happy. Was on way to hospital and it was a packed bus and couldn't get on next bus either.

I blame yuppies and their busy lifestyles meaning they don't have time to drink coffee at home or in cafes/restaurants/anywhere but a bus :mad:

phone in one hand & coffee or bottle of water in the other. What is wrong with people? Can't they go twenty minutes or half an hour without using their phone or supping on something I don't know what it is. Stupid coffee with stupid names. What is wrong with black coffee or white coffee & a fucking cafe to drink it in.

And another thing, those not supping coffee are drinking those smelly bloody caffeine drinks. What wrong with a coffee? ;)

Don't get me started on mothers with prams on the phone or for the matter parents with young children who can't put their sodding phone down for two minutes to care for their screaming offspring. It is your child, look after it & pay it some attention. Do your gossiping after they have gone to bed & not loudly competing with your wailing kid on the bus.:mad:
 
I took my surfboard on teh tube quite a few times when I lived in the smoke. How else could you get to Newquay from Bethnal Green without a roof rack:confused: I don't know how I got away with it. Most of the times the guards just looked so bemused they never said owt. They would never let me on the bus with it though. Mind you it was an 11'6" Malibu long board.

I tried it once and the driver ridiculed me so badly I was too scared to try it again...

It went something along the lines of
"Chaaa diya need me too tell ya they is na waves anywhere on the number 8 route sonny or are you gonna figure why you aint bringing that thing on me bus now all by yourself" That was closely follwoed by some old Frank Butcher givin it large behind me....
"Oiy beach boy I'm on me way to work not Hawaii gedowtt tha fackin way"
The whole bus was having a giggle by then and people were coming down the curly pairs to have a laugh as well:oops:

I surrended knowing that that day I should fight the good fight of access on public transport for surfers some other time:D

:oops:

It's probably worse than that Minnie_the_Minx .:hmm: They only buy it and carry it around to look cool and to smuggly smell of fresh coffee. You know what this idiot did don't you? Their arm got tried so they spilt it on purpose. :mad:
