No knowing why contributors to the site have been band and wind up merchants coming on here acting like someone they are not.

Well, they are banned now, at least.

100% Agree.

I don't know how some people find the nerve.

Why though??? it always annoys me on any forum when you see the word banned under a members name and you've no clue what happened!  This thread is for what annoys you today and that annoys me.

Must admit, I find it frustrating when I miss the drama. 
Great when I manage to see the 'before' they're banned drama.

Why don't you suggest a 'why were they banned' thread?
The chance for admins and mods to explain why Tez got banned and what they actually did to get banned.

Nowt worse when you see post like deserved it, didn't deserve it, he was a great/rubbish poster and there you are wondering what they did!

If it's the person I think you're talking about, I'd assume it would've been the removed post in the 'Arriva Northumbria - North Tyneside/South East Northumberland Network,' thread. Probably didn't help him slagging the mods off the other week either.

He kinda lost it.

My new job sucks. I used to be able to log in more regular to see everything. I'm with Rob now, it sucks when you miss the drama ?

No guarantee it will be any better today. Currently 5 buses tracking and all on one side of town. 3 passed our house in 30 seconds.

I'll have the emergency chocolate ready.

Personally I preferred the old BIG MICK STOKOE. The young-un's here have no idea of how good the buses used to be back in the day. I think people are spoilt nowadays with customer services and a companies outward social media awareness. 

If you left something on the bus - it's gone -YOUR FAULT.
If you missed the bus - get there earlier - YOUR FAULT.
Refused travel - YOUR FAULT - the driver is always right.

If anyone disputes this, just look at how many people used the bus back then compared to today. Moving towards a more passenger focussed operation has seen a mass decline in patronage. Passengers should be treated like mushrooms, kept in the dark and fed shot. It's the only way of recreating the glory days of the past.

Aye them days are over, drivers today will never have it as good as we did.
