All still there Mau. Although I haven't been down for a couple of years. I have lived in Southampton since 1970 - Southampton has the Mayflower Park and Plymouth has the Mayflower Steps - a bit of rivalry between the 2 cities - the little fleet left from Southampton but had to call into Plymouth for repairs etc. I trust your honeymoon was enjoyable in my home town. I stood for the Council in 1960 in Plymouth - "A young man for a modern city" was my rallying call. Didn't get in but it was fun. Like the thread because it is interesting - non contentious - and promoted some lovely little stories. |

So would I we save a fortune in parking charges by not taking the car into town. And, when we go to wetherspoons for lunch, oh can have a glass of wine without worrying. And.... you can see so much more from the top of the bus!!! :-D |

Our bus service is excellent. Every ten minutes, Cheltenham in one direction and Gloucester in the other about 15 minutes to Glos and 20 minutes to Cheltenham, traffic and road works allowing. Bus stop for both five minutes walk from home, bus stop in both towns right in centre. :-) |

I envy you living on Tyneside, Mau - the public transport is wonderful. Norfolk has a pathetic service, our village only gets a bus three times a week! |

I haven't been on a bus since I was a teenager, even then I preferred to walk. A few coaches where we always ended up singing though. :-D |

I never thought I would enjoy a coach tour, but we did one to Eastern USA and Canada last year, and loved it because of the people we met. Very few Brits, but mainly Australians, Americans - even a lady from the Mauritius. Chatting to them, and overhearing conversations was really entertaining. |

had a lovely conversation a few days ago with the guy who runs a fish and chip shop in our village - asked him where he came from - Pakistan - he then showed me some pictures of where he lived - the Swat Valley - what a fantastic beautiful place - he has family there still - they have a farm and they grow rice and peaches - why on earth he chooses to live here I have no idea |

I love having conversations on holiday with other folk,surely that's the way it should be,and especially if they live in different parts of the world. With lots to learn... and how nice it would be if all cultures could live together in harmony :-D |

My Mum doesn't shout but she has one of those voices that carry a long way!! When she came down last year, my sister and I took her to Bath, using the Park & Ride. The bus was quite full so I went upstairs and sat next to the stairwell. Mum has always denied that she is 'loud' but when I recounted what I'd heard from the top deck, she went very quiet... :-D |
