I was having a great afternoon out with the missus yesterday. We had taken advantage of free bus and train travel and went into Manchester and had a gander round the Peoples Museum. Enjoyed a nice lunch and I had another couple of pints in the Wheatsheaf off Tib Lane.
Train back to Bolton and into the Bolton Interchange and walked up to our bus stop. It's all under a new canopied shelter and leaning against a railing was this I think male.
Now I'm about as liberal and tolerant as a person can get but this dress code scared me to death. Almost two meters tall, wearing black track suit bottoms with white Arabic style insignia plastered all over them, and a black puffer jacket with a floppy hood worn up. The person had a black balaclava type face covering with wire glasses and he/she was texting like mad on a mobile 'phone. The temperature was well over 20 degrees centigrade.
I'd probably over done the beer in Manchester, but I was extremely concerned about being blown up. So much so I went and found "security". The dude said he would need to find his colleague and come and investigate.
Long and short of it he came with his mate and stood looking daft for 3/4 minutes and then walked away. The wannabee ISIS member got on the bus to where we were going along with some very concerned looking passengers.
Me and the wife went to Greggs, had a coffee and a doughnut and caught the next bus.
I still think "Security" should have called the police. No wonder the MEN Arena got blown to bits.
I support immigration but for the love of God, when in Rome do as the Romans do eh, or am I being unfair?
Over an early morning cuppa Mrs BT said, I was dead right, because she was not getting on that bus even if I did!
