(11 Apr 2016, 6:32 pm)BusLoverMum wrote I was. I had both of them. Don't get rid of them until tomorrow. Made the most of the metrocentre being quieter as I needed some stuff from IKEA. Didn't bank on the glut of ladies that do Bingo filling up the S1, mind.

The driver did inspect the Bus when we were at Gateshead following complaints by other passengers, but couldnt see anything, all windows were open upper deck but it made no difference, could still smell the horrible stench.
