I have a Disabled freedom pass for London now that's a bus pass to end all bus passes in England as somebody should put the most powerful bus pass to the least powerful one. I think London would top the table compared to my sister's (lancashire county) equivalent
We did this trip from Southend Pier several years ago.......Never again The boat was jam packed, to a dangerous extent in my mind. We didn't take any food as we thought we could get some on the boat. There was none available. I had to queue for ages to get a drink and a packet of crisps. Four hours each way, we were starving by the time we got back to Southend.
25 years RN, ex killing muppet ( minewarfare ), and this was my last ship as a crash draft. Joined in Salalah, Oman, a week after the twin towers in New York came down. We did exercise Saif Sareea 2 in the Gulf of Oman before bringing her home to Pompey. I did 18 years RFA as a Deckhand Sg1a after the Navy. Glutton for punishment 😂😂😂😂 I've still got the t-shirt from that trip in my wardrobe. It no longer fits me.😢
As long as they travel humanly and in good conditions there is no problem. The vast majority of these stupid people don't understand the system, they have been fed a diet of pure bullshit.
Gotta be careful with that big thing ,especially around bridges in major US ports. It could really do a number on the economy if you’re not careful with it. Good thing they have professional pilots driving those big ships.
The Dali crashed into The Francis Scott Key Bridge in Baltimore Maryland around 1:30am on Tuesday march 26th 2024… Rescue Mission and the search for survivors is currently ongoing and is underway. I pray for everyone that’s impacted and affected by this tragedy
I went on a five hour tour of this giant ship three weeks before her departure and maiden voyage from the Lindø Skibsværft ( shipyard ), Munkebo here in Denmark. Amazing to me 😊
That brings back memories. Many years ago I was half owner of one of these. We bought her from the original owners in Denmark who had owned it from being new in 1908. Ours had a wheelhouse with a small galley behind. What a great boat they are in every respect, built like a tank and in the open ocean with the sails set and the wheel tied off it would maintain it's course for hours on end. Ours, the Anna Marie, was fitted with a two cylinder B&W Apha diesel, no gearbox but a variable pitch propeller which was also reversible. It was an antiquated system but great in it's own way. However we later fitted a 6 cylinder Mercedes diesel with a conventional gearbox. That was so much more reliable but we had lost the wonderful Puckata - Puckata sound of the old one. Happy day's, well mostly.
I have been long retired from the service, but I find it a little strange that I have never heard about this and of course why are these vids appearing now The Elder Brethren have always been stuck in the past when it came to industrial relations, but for the first strike to take place on their watch does not surprise me As a retired staff member, I find the neglect of its former staff quite puzzling, they are charged with the welfare of ex mariners, and give the most charitable funds to these causes, however, its the case of the cobbler's kids are always the worst shod, they could think about at least sponsoring a staff association so we could have a get-together once a year,, and tell a few old sea tales over a glass or two
I got my bis pass and im 18 and autistic and its made my life traveling easier and i can use it all over wales and i can take another person with me and dont cost me or the person a penny and it don't cist me £4.40 for a day to go it has been the best thing i ever have
Had the honour of being part of the crew in the 2006 Tall Ships Race. Some wonderful memories, mixed in with some of the most exhausting. It's also where I first made eggy bread so...
To be honest, buses should be free in the same way as the NHS. Roads are paid for through general taxation and most are free at the point of use, in spite of how expensive they are to maintain. People need to be able to get out and get to work, shopping, errands and generally just to be able to socialize. That is worth paying increased taxes for, although with the number of cars that would remove from our roads our bill for maintaining and expanding wide roads would come down anyway! Before having my bus pass, I felt kind of limited with the high cost of living in where I could go, now between my bike and my bus pass, I can go wherever I want without having to pay to clog and chew the roads up further by putting another car on them! And all of the businesses other than the bus companies benefit from me being able to go spend money that woud just have went to the greedy, monopolistic Worst- um First Glasgow bandits!
and the ship channel is like OH MR SUCTION DREDGER YOUR SUCTION IS SO STRONG IT FEELS SOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO GOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOD, SO DOES YOUR SUCTION PIPES AND YOUR DRAG HEADS SO DON'T STOP SUCKING ON ME, and the suction dredger is like, OH I WONT STOP SUCKING ON YOU UNTIL I'M DONE DREDGING YOU" I KNOW YOU LOVE ME SUCKING ON YOU I KNOW YOU DO.
Hi, I'm Michael Leiva, I'm from Chile 🇨🇱 I'm writing to you through my phone's translator. I liked your trip in motorhomes or caravans 🚙 I really liked it from Chile. 🇨🇱 A kiss and a hug.
how is it you can get a bus pass at 60 yrs old in scotland,wales, etc but not in england. and we have more population paying in . this is to the councilors in england get us a pass also . or is it discrimination .
I'm Scottish and don't get free bus travel in England. I'd like to explore their historic sites, but they want me to pay. I should get free bus, train, and airline travel in England considering the money we pay them in taxes.
