Brighton bus loses it's roof!

Not sure if the criteria has changed, but when they started putting names on busses they only considered people that were no longer living.

Have you seen Sally Gunnell lately?

There are (or were) two Les Hamiltons - both councillors in Portslade.

Les Hamilton snr died a few years back. A lovely guy. When he was Chairman of East Sussex County Council, he once turned up at a Lewes pub where I was enjoying a Christmas eve lunchtime drink with some colleagues. He walked up to the bar and handed fifty quid to the barman and said "Let these people have as much as they want until this runs out".

Les Hamilton jnr is his son.

Name-dropper!

Funny, but a fifty spot would cover a meagre few shandys these days

What an idiot, surely you would know if the your bus could fit under or not.

He probably thought he was driving a single-decker. This happens regularly, every few years I reckon in the UK. Some d/d buses have notices telling the driver that it is not a single-decker!
