Hard lard. Some people may be on JSA, and doing what they can with spare cash.

And I shan't be going to the Bank for change for this particular bus service either. If I go on with a fiver, the fare is £3.40, so change = £1.60.

Or people generally pay for the bus with all the spare change they have, which is what most people, including myself do.

Can I just clarify I'm not referring to those who come on with 10s, 20s etc. I'm talking about the ones who come on with almost all of it in 1s and 2s. I think a fair amount of those people are at it as they know that not only can I not count it properly once its inside the hopper, but also that I don't have time to because there is a timetable to attempt to keep to (albeit in Edinburgh at the moment thats easier said than done). I actually know someone who waited and counted it all, the person wanted a day ticket but didnt even put in enough for a single. So am I paranoid? I think not.

Viv I hate to break this to you but if everyone takes your attitude that its not much to expect change, in your case wanting £1.60 back from a fiver, is it any wonder that sometimes the driver wouldn't have change? It really isn't too unreasonable to suggest going into a bank next time you're near one to ensure you have change. Although I don't have to pay to use the bus, I personally hate not having change in my pocket incase its needed for any number of reasons.

No. I am sorry. I, like many people, are working to a budget. Also, I am busy with a lot of things on my mind, between trying to change job (STILL) and trying to move home (STILL)... among the last things on my mind are some poxy drivers on a power trip, who cannot give me a simple one pound and sixty pence. Applies to trains and buses AND undergrounds. Please have sufficient change for your passengers, or you are not a public service.

The coins I do keep are for a Saturday (my emergency money for the woods) - I cannot possibly be thinking of coins + bus services + everything else, just to please someone else.

Just heard some really loud explosions. I thought a bomb was going off or the petrol station near me was going up... now why would I hear such things, I hear you ask?

Well on this occasion, it was a FIREWORKS DISPLAY... On a weeknight, not even a f***ing Bank Holiday, and at TEN THIRTY AT NIGHT, and in a city centre.

I mean really, what the actual flying f***???? Who thought THAT was a good idea? Some of us need to be up at 5am and this has now disrupted my attempts to get a little shut-eye.

Yeah, that's what I meant. A lot of people do that with the 1s and 2s. It's just getting rid of little moneys, but it must get annoying.

I think a lot of people are unaware that there are actually limits on what someone has to accept in 1s and 2s. 1p and 2p coins are legal tender only if you are paying for something costing 20p or less: once you have amassed 21 or more 1p pieces, your coins contravene the Coinage Act 1971 if used in a single transaction.

While I'm not about to have a go at someone for putting in more than 20p worth of coppers, and a certain someone will no doubt say it doesnt matter and they aren't interested in the limit anyways, it does go to show that people aren't necessarily being unreasonable when complaining about someone giving them loads of loose change.

We should pass one on bus drivers who think they own the bus.

Viv may I remind you that the driver is the one in charge? You might not want to accept this, but the job is stressful, particularly when it involves city center driving and we are only human. We are allowed to have off days and sometimes.

I think Viv thinks only HER job can ever be stressful...

A plane to skim over the horizon?!

Your posts are becoming increasingly silly. You are now just arguing for the sake of it, particularly when it comes to people putting across reasonable points in relation to what you say.

      Not sure what it really means, but Scott Mills is one of the least distracting DJs according to new research. https://www.thisismoney.co.uk/money/cars/article-13283609/Most-distracting-radio-podcast-hosts-driving-revealed-Mark-Wright-Chris-Evans-list.html It says Radio 1 though, which is not only inaccurate, but also I can only imagine it applying to his Radio 2 show. How many sounds effects did he used to play on Radio 1, ha.

      Jack Saunders' new show

      By BBCAaron · Posted

      I would rather do the new music show than the breakfast show early starts, being cheery and entertaining isn’t my vibe and being hip and on trend. With new music it’s a different kettle of fish that could get my teeth into and enjoy researching and planning of the show and coming up with ideas and making my mark in away that I don’t think I have the ideas for a breakfast. I don’t see how it could be alienating but I enjoy the niche and speciality of expertise that new music shows gives it’s good spot of giving you the headlines and setting the agenda of mainstream music.

      Jack Saunders' new show

      By Radio_12 · Posted

      Absolutely, Jack is such an incredible broadcaster already, incredibly entertaining with such brilliant music knowledge and his excitement is contagious, I've never really listened to New Music Shows like Future Sounds but I'm instantly invested in new music due to his show, as I'm sure many others are too.  yes the effects are a little strange but after listening back they're strangely charming when you get used to them.

      Jack has smashed it He was born for this show, he said he’d been dreaming of it and you could tell. Such passion and energy as always with Jack but in a show that can grab people’s attention and drag them down the rabbit hole of new music if you had a keen interest in discovering new music but haven’t in a while, new music shows can be alienating with no familiarity until you ‘get into it’ - the new show has ensured you can ease into to get back into sync . i love the Zane influences - he will be the forefront of where every emerging and returning artist wants to be with this show . Very excited for this chapter

      Yes, I feel that unless it’s for a special sessions with a large ensemble band that for live sessions going out live on the radio. Never saw why they haven’t used the live lounge studio and feel that room could be used more.

      Interesting now Zane has for apple interviewed anything from an artists that have charted and doing less interviews with new and emerging talents chatting to Shakira, Usher, Kelly Clarkson and Shania Twain. Yes, that is a positive thing about Jack Saunders. Although I don’t mind it from time to time for a presenter to be honest and spill an unsavoury opinion about music on the station like Annie did with Fall Out Boy.

      Interesting Jack mentioned they've got new studios at Maida Vale; you'd think, with the move to Stratford, they wouldn't bother update the studios so close to the end...

      Yep Jack is very much Radio 1's modern day Zane Lowe - but with the bonus that he does feel a bit a bit more open-minded and open to chart stuff than Zane was. I could never imagine Zane being a chart host the way Jack is - I always had the sense if Zane didn't approve of your music taste he'd make you well aware of it.

      I will still call them sessions as feel with gigs it makes you think of a live tangible means of going to listen to a band play music and not virtually tuning in via the medium of radio.
