In the 17 years I've lived in Norwich I've only used the bus twice.
1st time I needed to get from the airport to the city centre. the bus was late, the driver seemed confused as to where I wanted to get to "Is that Anglia Square ?" "No the castle is further on from there." "Sorry never been to Norwich before, this is my 1st time." I was looking to see if he was kidding, there was a strip of paper taped near the steering wheel with what looked like Rally pace notes telling him which turns & stops to make.
We got quite close to the detination we needed when while at a pedestrian crossing the driver burst out into some sort of demonic laugh, slapping the sterring wheel with one hand muttering "dear oh dear"
Couldn't see any thing outside to set him off, couldn't an ear piece in esr in case he was listening to a radio/tape. Some of the passengers exchanged worried looks, I half expected to find the original driver gagged and bound under one of the seats.
About a year later I was with some friends on a hike across the countryside, we got a bus at the end back into the city. when near the centre at a set of red traffic lights the diver turned round and asked "Err, is any one sure where I'm supposed to go from hear ? Just I'm new to Norwich"
2 bus trips and what happens, whats the chances of that ? or is Norwich some sort of twilight zone or elephants grave for bus drivers, They're always advertising for drivers here........ That does it after thinking about it I'm not eating a kebab round here again (how come you never see a kebab shop take deliveries)
