Another bus trip to college
Used to have a rota where my lectures had a lovely 4 hour gap in the middle. So, with bus pass in hand I'd regularly go into the city centre and doss about for a while before heading back in.

This one afternoon, the double-decker gets loaded up pretty much full with students at the deppo, and heads on upto Tycoch ready for this afternoon's lectures. The bus stops by the 1st stop from the deppo, and an elderly lady gets on the bus, sitting on an elevated seat to herself. She looks at us all nervously, then looks forward at where the bus is driving to. I sort of think she looks slightly odd, but drift away from paying any attention.

That was until the next stop.

This elderly gent steps onto the bus; well more struggles on (he was old). He politely shows his pass to the driver while saying "Afternoon sir, thanks very much" and goes to sit down next to the elderly woman. If she did; in the highest pitch possible, she screams "Nooooooooooooooooooo!!!!" and slides sideways to block this guy from sitting down next to her.

Cue 30 plus students focusing all attention on this.

This old bloke is obviously caught offguard, and says "Oh, don't be silly love, come on, let me sit down..." and goes to sit where she just slid from.

"Noooooooooooooooo!!!!" say yells, and slides back across.

This goes on for a few attempts, as this old guy and the lady are shuffling back and forth, while she's screaming away. All of us are laughing like fuck on the bus though; this is great.

Eventually the old guy dummies her to one side, then hops into the other seat. She reacts to this by crying her eyes out, while he's trying to comfort her.

Turns out the next stop after the college was the local nut-house (Cefn Coed).

Wasn't the worst journey for me, but you'd swear it was for the granny.
