This bit touched a nerve:
Kimberley Miners Welfare gave their all and left nothing out on the pitch. John assures me that there is a No.1 bus to Nottingham every ten minutes. The scoreboard, at the bus stop, begs to differ as it displays in neon lights that there's a 25 minute waiting time - it's one of those frustrating moments us bus w@nkers have to suffer now and again.
That No. 1 bus you speak of is the Trent Barton Rainbow One, my local bus into town. It does indeed say 'every ten minutes', but that's a lie Boris Johnson would be proud of. The truth is that you can wait 28 minutes, but then three of the buggers arrive in the next two minutes. It's a common sight to see two or three of them in line!
