I find that funny especially when I heard it once from a little old dear i Park Lane who had a better beard and tash than me, just a random thought, lol
RE: Anything and Everything :) - tyresmoke - 30 Aug 2013
The amount of people who would rather wait than fold a pushchair down is absolutely mental. They then usually have the audacity to complain the driver won't let them on!!

Yes I can understand that, but the other end of the stick is if the driver refused them on when the pushchair is more often than not overloaded with bags. I know GNE's policy states they'll be refused if they do, but it's never enforced.
Whilst I don't condone vexatious complaints in the slightest, I have seen quite a few examples of drivers refusing to wait whilst a pram is folded down. More often than not when the bus is already late.

I agree with him on the "what did people do?" comment, because I think that unless you're a wheelchair-bound passenger, you don't need the space - it's just something nice to have, rather than having to fold the buggy down.
But, there's no need for his second comment - "try coming out earlier" - understandably if you live on a route with a service every few minutes, it's something you could think about, just in case the vehicle isn't low floor or one/both (depending on vehicle type) spaces are taken, but it isn't going to work if it's an hourly/half-hourly service or a service with a small PVR.

His mere presence on that Facebook page is good enough reason for him to be called an 'absolute creature' if you ask me.

LOL comment of the day by far.

He's as creepy calling everyone darl and hun.
Still it comes to Go North East social media acting like a small provincial hick company with the power of a national brand

Half tempted to ask a question and when he answers it say, 'Thanks hun'.
See what he says...

I'm still tempted to steal AdamY's idea and set up a fake Cliff Hignett profile on facebook, stalking the GNE page almost religiously

Please do it. When they complain, say it's a 'public forum'.
Oh my god, that would be brilliant.
I can ask my question too, and you can comment on that! :p

I'd understand if it was a Geordie term like "pet" or "flower", but the creepy thing is that he only ever says "babe" and "hun" to young women - most of which don't appreciate what the "absolute creature" has to say

Not sure I would do the role justice - but seeing as the idea is out there now, if anyone else fancies doing it?
Mind the profile 'Leyland Olympian' gives as good as he gets. I quite look forward to seeing him put those two to the sword

A lad who calls anyone 'hun' has serious problems. So wrong.

Do it. I'll make an exception in this case.

Cliff Hignett profile picture should look like Tony Clifton.
(Look him up kids)

Think we might have to wait a little bit. At current, there's only one person with that name and he's from Australia. Do you have a URL link?
