Noticed the phrase ’WE’VE GOT YOU….’on a Stagecoach bus in their new livery of dark blue was next to me at the traffic lights.
Well as they have a monopoly of all the town’s bus services, they certainly have us by something ………..several phrases come to mind. :laugh:

.
Bit of a gaffe there I think.

one thing about stagecoach is they could not have got a better name to describe them. my lad who worked for them calls em the deadwood stage that rattles and limps over the hill. broken and bodged up.

There's a sign in our Co-op window proclaiming that Member's Card holders (like me) own the store.

So I helped myself to four bottles of Glenfiddich and shagged the manageress...

Good bit business of the original owners of Stagecoach, brother and sister, bought the bus companies over along with the bus stations in prime locations then sold the bus stations off.
