  2. Why spend money that you don't have to? Council contracts are as good as their notice period, no security in the work, only as a springboard to different things.

  3. Oakleys is temp running the 55/56/98 for Beacon Bus. Was running the route today with one of their party limo buses. Strange to think that at night it transports from pub to club, by night school/village bus service.
