Ann,

Thanks so much for your support. I'll wait and see if anything happens. I haven't told son-in-law partly becasuse I haven't seem him for the past few days, as he works the late shift, and we are in bed long before he gets home - they live across the road. I just don't understand the mentality of the company for one of it's drivers showing care for a passenger. Mind some of the stories he tells about the drunks/druggies/young girls is enough to scare you off ever travelling by bus. He has been verbally abused on numerous occassions, and even threatened with physical violence a couple of times.I think all public transport employees deserve a medal with what they have to put up with.

Watch this space as they say.

I'll be watching with interest!! As you say abuse of public transport employees is par for the course - my son's been spat at, had a hypodermic needle shoved at him among other things.

Why not e-mail a national paper like The Sun, or The Mirros for example. The whole country should know about this, so the company can be brought to task.
Did anyone see the Mirror today with the picture of the couple put off the bus because they were goths, and he had his girlfriend on a collar and lead.
They were put off the bus. Funny but true.

I posted a reply about 10 mins ago - where is it? OMG, feel like the invisible woman now! lol :-))

I just said that Pauline and Ann, your sons have been treated really badly, but I applaud them both. Good luck Pauline - I hope your son gets the recognition he so deserves!

Hi Chris

It is a national company, and I have to say it's not the first run in that our son-in-law has had with them. I wish he could find another job, but in Cornwall it's not that easy, and when you have a wife and 2 little ones to provide for, you can't afford to say stuff your job (or words to that effect!)

If he had left her the publicity would not have been good for his bus company!! He must be incensed about it!

OH BOY............. that is just beautiful!

I think he should have been praised for being so efficient, not to mention caring!!

I don't know we seem to have lost the plot!

I for one think he is marvellous.
And you can tell his boss that if you talk to him!
