Dented Bus
One fine day I pulled out of my drive in a very small car (Vauxhall Tigra) and around the back of a bus stopped next to my flat.

2 months later there was a knock at the door from a policeman. Apparrantly I had dented said bus with my car and not stopped.

"But Mr Policeman, come and look at my car, it's shiney and black with no hint of damage or bus paint" said I.

"Ok" said Mr Policeman "I'll write a report that there is no damage to your car and that it has not been repaired".

2 months later I get a court summons for damage to the bus and loss of bus earnings while it was being repaired! Apparantly my little car had dented the bus so badly that it had to be taken off the road. My car was hardly taller than the floor of the bus.

At this point I talk to a lawyer.

The lawyer agreed that the bus company must be mad and after lots of letters and help from him we were ready to go to court.

On the morning of the court case Arriva rang up the lawyer to say they were willing to drop the case.

Now, at the time, I was looking after a very sick (soon to be no more) husband so I really didn't want to spend the time away from him in court. Even though the lawyer thought we could get his fees paid if we continued to go to court I decided I could afford the lawyer but not the time.

The lawyer, who knew about my situation, was an angel called Xavier. He only charged my 20 quid for all his work. He is a beautiful person.

Arriva on the other hand are gits.
