I'm sure you can still buy food, if you're in a lockdown, sure they're doing in Spain/Italy etc....

I'd argue that supermarket workers are a heck of a lot more important than a lot of NHS staff, plus they come in contact with many more people who are potentially infected.
I'm not trying to downplay the importance of NHS staff, but it all seems a bit unfair to me

An already overstretched NHS is on the front line in this. They are risking their own health through merely operating with the same professionalism as they do day in day out, due to the lack of PPE that is available. On top of this, many NHS staff are working an exhausting amount of hours, with limited time to even think about the things we take for granted; food, transport, etc.
Of course there are other key workers. I am one too, but peoples lives do not depend on my work. Very few in society have that level of responsibility. As for supermarket workers, they're doing an absolutely brilliant job right now, but its out of necessity following the sheer greed of others.

She uses an electric wheelchair and managed to dislodge the pole in the wheelchair bay (not surprising given how cramped it is in a MPD). The driver was great about it and she wrote in aboot his good deed.
Well I read what she wrote in the other day and she thought the driver took a shine to me and thought it would be an excellent idea to "extoll the virtues" of myself. I could have killed her.
Well I had the same driver on the the 57a today and the best I could manage was "don't worry I'm not stalking you". I do know how to land myself in it.

I got a couple of them and then the lens suddenly wouldn’t focus on my DSLR and then it got jammed between the 18-24mm position on the zoom so had to abandon this and go to Durham CeX (the nearest one that had one) for a new lens. Luckily I only paid £19 as I had a game to trade in I was finished with.

It has been going on for the last 70 years, get over it.
Honestly is getting dull and tedious seeing the same posts everytime there's a repaint.

Particularly when they want to stand out, be unique, different and shout out that they are different to another company operating a similar network.
Back when operators had nothing more than a small selection of paint tins, a ladder, couple of brushes and masking tape - then, yeah I could see why one operator looked like another.
Ditto when things were nationalised.
I quite enjoy comparing the livery of one operator to several other operators of a totally different company.
Passes the time when I'm bored.

(05 Aug 2021, 8:58 am)Train8261 wrote Yea granted some of them won't care.They probably don't care if it's. A carbon copy of one 300 miles away, though.
My nana and grandad are both 70 years old. They are never into buses. But when the Coaches entered service on the X9/X10.
They happily said its a lot more of a better ride to Peterlee then the deckers. So maybe in some eye (new buses) and liverys are better to catch the eye of some people

Always something going on around these parts, if its not a group of lassies screaming their lungs out on the last X21 to Ashington, it'll be kids vandalising stuff or just being vile.
Used the bus around 3 times in the past year and I think I'll suck up the £2 per litre from now on...
