192

OK, OK it doesn't look much like a holiday shot or that anyone in the picture is enjoying themselves but this photo is pretty special and deserves a special mention all on its own.

Sat on the back seat (left - right) are Kev, Cheryl, B & Neil and we are all on our way home from Manchester at 3am. Little bit of history for you as this is no ordinary bus, this is the 192. This has been voted the worst bus journey in the UK and it travels all the way from Manchester city centre through its worst Southern suburbs and onto Stockport transporting all sorts of lovely characters back to the caves in which they live (that doesn't include us by the way). Having been a veteran of this journey over the years I warned B as we got on to sit there quietly, not look anyone in the eye and under no circumstances talk to anyone.

B is doing really well but 30 minutes into the journey she can't help herself and says to the girl sat opposite her "You remind me of my friend Vicky". Those of you who have seen Little Britain will understand Vicky was a reference to Vicky Pollard, the "Yeah but, No but" scally that resembles pretty much the whole contents of this bus we are on.

Thankfully the gag went right over Vicky's head, she replied some nonsense and I breathed a sigh of relief. A memorable journey but one I won't be taking B on again in a hurry.
