We wrinklies can only board buses for free after 9.30am, to let the workers get to work without having to navigate zimmer frames and shopping trolleys, old gimmers yacking in the doorway of the bus and fat old ladies taking up all the seats.

We've got bus passes, but we only use them on the park-and-ride. However we still have to pay £1.70 each (I suppose that's to cover the parking) and it's miles to the 'Airport Park-And-Ride' from our village.

The good thing is, we can stay all day 'up the city' until the last bus if we wish, for that money.
