But did they actually take disciplinary action against the driver?

Or did they just tell you that.


I once had a minicab driver who took us to Gatwick on the way to our wedding. He was pretty rude so we didn't give him the tip he requested. This led to him shouting "F**k off you f**king c**ts. I hope you f**kin' well die in a plane crash" plus lots of other abuse. The cab office said they would take the strongest disciplinary action when I reported this

On gettingback from honeymoon and following up, they said they'd had a stern word with him and told him not to do it again.


Don't believe them. They don't bother. It's all lies.

Ask the bus company for a copy of his P45.

I have spoken at length to various people and made numerous complaints in writing about this particular driver but nothing ever happens. Just last week he shouted from his cab to an elderly lady who refused to pass her paper travelcard to him under the hatch "I am english remember unlike you". He is a disgusting individual and I have witnessed him bully and abuse passengers on a regular basis.


Today I spoke to a controller at East Thames Buses who tells me the driver is based at the Belvedere depot and his name is not Nigel. The attached photograph should help.


I don't know what else can be done about this man.

I am identifying the driver in question so that others can be made aware of the bully in question.


You have removed his photograph so I can only presume that you do not object to his disgraceful actions.

Think I ran into this guy when pregnant. REALLY obnoxious when I apparently didn't show the date on my travelcard well enough. Rather than dissolving in floods of hormonal tears however it just made me more feisty in return and held up the bus journey whilst he harrangued me and everyone stared - hopefully in pity! Feel sorry for the less hardy individuals he bullies.


Must be raising his blood pressure though! Will be thinking calm zen-like thoughts meself if I'm ever on his bus again otherwise I'm likely to brain him with my brolly!

So what do we do then, if we personally come across, maybe for the first time, a person we believe to be the person referred to in some or all of the (more or less anonymous) postings here?

I Made the name up in my original thread about Angry Nigel the bus driver man. It's a generic name to reference people; Like I flew with Fast Nigel the pilot last weekend and Crash Nigel the cab driver took me home.


I saw Angry Nigel a couple of months ago being friendly to a guy boarding with a dog. He seemed to like the dog.


Strange...

Isn't that entrapmeant. Maybe this post should find its way to the Police.

"Emergency services, which service do you require?"

"police"

"transferring you"

"Hello police, can I help you?"

"Quick, there's someone on the 185 with a Freedom Pass and they're threatening to use it against Nigel"

Oh, you'd be amazed what you find if you ever read your contract properly.



I was entitled to a gallon of rum from the people of Canterbury at every full moon on my last job. Never claimed any of it.

You should claim the backlog and throw a party.


My contract says i get paid on the 25th of every month and that's only happened 3 times in the last year and a half. It also says if i have any problems i can speak to the HR representative, which would be hard seeing as there isn't one. It doesn't mention that as a graphic designer I'm expected to do everyones washing up and take the rubbish out everyday along with lots of other crap. Sorry I went a bit off topic there I REALLY need to get a new job.

I think the post said alittle more than that.

    • That's a disgusting slur against an innocent driver who was probably just on their way to drop off freshly-baked muffins at an orphanage when they had to swerve out of the way of a so-called "cyclist", and anyway traffic lights are just a Marxist conspiracy by Southwark Council to slow traffic down and force people out of cars, so we're all better off without it.
    • Frothy coffee? Not really my bag. A double espresso and a Marlboro Red? It's the breakfast of champions. The only dark drink with a creamy head which should ever be drunk by a man of my age is Guinness. I've also become lactose intolerant recently, meaning I get very impatient around milk. You make a fair point, but those legal channels are available for them to recover their repair, and legal, costs and, as I said: "It's up to them if they [Southwark] want to do that, of course." There's three or four grands worth of Cat N write-off, wrapped round a post there (more, if it's broken down for parts) causing problems. If they can't be arsed sorting that, I'm not holding my breath. Even Southwark couldn't screw their numbers up enough to make shifting the post back through circa 15 degrees more than a couple of grand, so there's a drink in it for everyone. It's a bit 'leany' just now, yeah, but I haven't noticed anyone having to limbo under it to get to Superdrugs. Or, they could make a feature of it. Pisa has made a fortune out of not sorting the underpinnings of their tower. Let's say it's an installation by someone called, I don't know, Bangsy, and it's a physical reminder that SE22 cannot deny its proximity to Peckham, Camberwell & Brixton. It's about the only thing that would get me back into The Bishop since the many dark afternoons of the soul I spent with Clarence*, the world's most depressed Weimaraner. *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.   Come on Spartacus, don't be shy. You know exactly where the Green Cross Code Man was in 1973: less than a hundred yards away, on North Cross Road. https://youtu.be/C-XwVVMiCO4?si=rt8kQllev0t1Lgdi For some years, I found it quite difficult to go into The Forrester's after many long afternoons of the soul with Dave Prowse* (The Green Cross Code Man). *RIP big fella. You were always a great listener.  
    • Loving the arm chair speculation on here  Blimey how long before this gets spun out to be a drug dealer welding a sawn off whilst driving away from a smash and grab at the coop cash machine flipped his car and landed on a bollard type post  Where's the green cross code man when you need him ?
