Welcome........
Since retiring, I've had a part-time job delivering (mainly) buses and coaches throughout the UK and overseas (if you include the exotic Isles of Sheppy, Wight and Man) and this web-site contains a Blog about the work and a small selection of photographs - in addition to some other features with which I have a connection of sorts. The various categories of vehicles and interests are listed above and new photos are announced in the Site News page. Please feel free to browse through the site - in particular, the May, 2008, Archives in the Blog page which contains an explanation of the work and seems as good a place as as anywhere to start off this visit and any more you might care to make in the future.......
Those who were in the UK during the eighties might recall the actress Maureen Lipman's series of adverts for BT where she played a Jewish grandmother called Beatie (get it?).
In one of them, her grandson was bemoaning the fact that he hadn't done very well in his examinations. He had, however, passed in Sociology.
"You got an OLOGY!" his grandmother proclaimed, "That's not a failure."
Anyway, I was involved in the passenger transport industry at that time and, partly as a consequence of that advert, the word Omnibusologist formed in my mind and I've adopted it as a 'User name' ever since. So far as I can tell (from Google) only one other person (a gay bus driver from Australia) has done the same.
