Actually, the more you think about it, the more the place appears completely deranged. Your bus is called Dame Flora Robson and the guys who empty the litter bins work out of a truck with a photo of CKR on the side.
 












There's nowhere to park on the streets.
Is London even as bad as this place for parking?

Now, you have to park in a structure, as they've painted all the single-yellows near the town-centre into doubles. So, even after 6 on a Friday evening, I have to pay for stinking parking.

That's a relief - i hadnt seen him in a long time!!!

Also, with the funny people disappearing - what about the chinese lady who always sat out the front of her(?) house on New church road? She was always sitting out there, come rain or shine!!

I think you will find he is known as 'Hand-clap Eddie' due to his random clapping at buses and generally pointing them in the direction they are already heading

HAND CLAP EDDIE :clap:

I remember him... he found my green trainers very amusing, he had to point them out and applaud them. Glad to hear he's still directing those buses, I'd hate to think where they would end up without him tirelessly making sure they are following the correct route.

The amount of people who now use Preston park for birthday parties, christening parties, wedding receptions and god knows what else.
Huge groups of people gather there on warm summer evenings having party games, water fights, games of football and volleyball, barbeques and copious amounts of alcohol.

Fantastic to see the park being used so well....i just wish they'd take their rubbish home with them !
