10A
Anyone who's ever gotten the 10a to or from Liverpool will know the kind of characters you can encounter on that bus. I'd just gotten on the 10a and I went and sat down a few seats behind a seemingly harmless
old man. He was sat in the seat nearest the aisle with his arm around the empty window seat. As the bus began to move I noticed the strong smell of lager as the man began to chat away to people
around him. Or so it seemed, I just assumed they weren't answering him because he was clearly drunk.

It was only when we got to Old Swan and the majority of the passengers got off that I realised this man wasn't talking to them, oh no he was talking to the empty bus seat. At first it was just mumbling
and occasionally words but then his invisible companion seemed to offend him.
"FINE!" he yelled,
"If you don't want to be friends any more then you can forget about the tour!.. Oh alright then... It's ok, my mistake we'll carry on" he slurred.
He mumbled for a bit and then when we got near Huyton I started to see what he meant by the tour.
"And this is Huyton.. You don't want to go here"
And he continued like that for the rest of the bus ride talking and occasionally fighting with his invisible companion.

That was until we reached the road leading into St Helens town centre where he serenaded the whole bus with a rendition of some clearly made up on the spot song about women from St Helens
and how he could get cheap drink there. From what I gather this song must have irritated his invisible companion as much as the other passengers because they began to argue and as I got off
the bus I heard a final shout of
"WELL I'M NOT TALKING TO YOU ANYMORE!"
before the bus pulled away.

Clearly a route designed by a sadist
"so it's going to end up in St Helens, so we'll put it through Old Swan and Huyton, that'll make them hate their parents even more"
