No, Santa hasn't robbed a bank. The hold up was caused by some fool who decided to run across the gap in Broadmarsh bus station where all the buses stream out on the green light to join the constant flow of traffic out of the city. Sadly it was dark, sadly he was drunk, sadly he timed his mad dash to literally collide with a very forward moving,large coach full of folk bound for London and he fractured his hip and lay in the road, bleeding and pleading for help. Not nice for him, of course, but this random choice of hell - for- leather mad dash meant that for 90 minutes no bus could exit this busy bus station and a 20 minute journey home for me took nearly two hours.
I hope that you get better Mr 'Merry'Christmas.I thank my lucky stars that I am now at home and the next time I decide to take the 'quick' route across that particular danger spot I shall think twice.
A fractured hip probably wasn't the fun that he was intending I'm guessing. I hate it when incidents like this happen to hold everyone up, like when people selfishly throw themselves onto train tracks for suicide and then the trains are delayed while the remains are removed! I can imagine Nottingham of all places being busy that time of year with people rushing around to Christmas dinners and Christmas parties. Maybe these fools will learn with time, but I highly doubt it.
