I started "In the straps" at Seaford depot for Southdown. Some memorable moments from those times.
Like the hard faced old geezer with the rolled umbrella, Bowler and briefcase who always without fail offered a pound note first thing in the morning, always said "Sorry that all i have" Got a load of small change ready for him one day and went to great lengths to count it all into his hands much to the amusement of the other regular passengers. When i finished counting it out his face was a picture when I said "Sorry thats all i have" ... "I will go and get you a bag to put it in" He always had the right fare after that
