The only way someone can get on a bus is if they've got a valid bus pass or bought a ticket and for that they'd have to go past the driver. So are inspectors trying to catch out drivers?!

Children with broken limbs in plaster. At primary school in the 70`s the ritual of drawing on classmates casts seemed to be a weekly practice.

I'll ave you Butler!!!!!! They definitely have them, I'm in London a lot for work and I see them regulary.
Found this on Wiki.
A revival in conductor operation on buses in the UK has occurred with the development of the ftr routes in York, Leeds and Swansea. Stagecoach Strathtay still uses conductors on service 73(A) from Arbroath, Carnoustie and Monifieth to Ninewells Hospital. Quantock Motor Services, Somerset, operates the service 400 'Exmoor Explorer' using crew-operated vintage open top buses. The conductors also returned to London in 2012 with the introduction of the New Routemaster. Some of the routes served by the New Routemaster will not have conductors so the service will be driver only operation controlling three doors of the bus. The role of the conductor is to ensure passengers validate their Oyster card as they board on the bus and supervise passengers using the open platform.[1]Last edited by Hermit Crab; 23-03-2016 at 04:30 PM.

Used to find the scuddy mags dumped over the wall behind the Carrick Knowe bowling club when I was younger. We used to get chesed regular by the bowlers, then again we were usually climbing on the roof and being general pests.

Shortly after the wearing of shin-pads became mandatory I was playing in a game at some point between U-12 and U-15 level.
I was caught out having forgotten mine and had to wear a pair hastily fashioned out of a scud mag found in the bushes near the pitch before the game.
The ref was none the wiser.
