Stagecoach buses keep stopping outside my Hythe home and now I need medical help

The first three people commenting on that news site seem to have the measure of the bloke quite well.

And I'm not surprised Stagecoach aren't making a comment - they're probably taking legal advice on what they can do about him!

Must have been a slow news day down in Kent..... bit like the chronicle up here and some of their more bizarre stories they publish online!

The chronicle is an absolute crock. It's all Denise Welsh this, Alan Barnes that. Don't even get me started on the tramps of Geordie Shore that they seem to promote at every opportunity.

I don't read them out of principle, but I haven't unfollowed them because I just like reading the comments

Nice livery, though.

It's not this bit of news itself that has made me laugh. That is, unfortunately same old sane old and a repeat of 15 years or so ago (and I can make a good guess at likely culprits, this time) it's the reporting. They have fleshed out a tweet or three, only ignoring the ancient photo, have made a pretty glaring error which makes them look as thick as pigshit.

Similar to the above - when an image completely fails to capture the scope of the article!

The article clearly says it is First Glasgow and they put a photo of one of GNE’s Percy Main Solos on the photo due to the school uniform as the school is in Whitley Bay as well as the seats give it away, useless journalism

That photo has been used loads recently.

It's appearing all over the place.

Noticed on the side of a GNE bus, today a Subway ad: "This is a sub"

Most amused by the sheer amount of tumbleweed that will arouse.

The amount of cars i saw ignoring the Bus Lane Camera signs on Askew Road in Gateshead. The council must be making thousands off it.

Ah no, someone must have removed it. 

Some lads put a spooky garden decoration outside a bus stop one evening.
Managed to arrange it so that it's arm was stretched out. 
It was even wearing a face mask.

Anyway, the 49 appeared saw a figure with its arm out and stopped.
The driver opened the doors and realised it was all just a big prank. 
He was a good sport about it, giggled a bit, said something and then drove off. 

The lads who were behind it, filmed it and played there part, with some witty bantz too.
