Sorry , that joke is lost on me , it must be too early in the morning.

It's true, though. Try elsewhere in the country. See what response you
get in Hull to something like "the 01.00 bus was a whole 10 min late,
and they only run every 20 min".

They run that late in Hull ? Because they bleeming don't in Manchester


They don't - that's the point. When I go home I get blank stares if I
use an oxymoron like "night bus".

Yet they do run in somewhere like Croydon. Not that I'm complaining
about being able to have a bus to myself (and the driver, obviously).

I had the problems with the N87 from Trafalgar square at about 3 a:m the
other night, there must have been a bus missing as I had to wait about
20 minutes for one.
