You really do need to be a master of many languages being a bus driver.
In the past couple of weeks I’ve been asked for the following:
“Biddymee” – This turned out to be Fishermead
“NnnDee” – That was ALDI
“The Walnut” – Walnut Tree
“Lodgey” – Shenley Lodge (of course!)
There are others, I just can’t think of em at the moment….
Twearly
Womble
W**k*r
Punter
and I can think of lost more,
in Essex, it was more “grunt” – I’ll have a single please driver
“grunt grunt” a return, my old fellow.
“grunt, cough mumble” do you go to the station/town centre
I felt the need to add “Hot Chilli” (Hodge Lea) to this list.
