I hope Iron had a smile on his face...

Correct me if i'm wrong, but don't you drive a bus?

Loadsa space fer rubbish in a bus, usually 'passengers' in my experience...

Ahem, may I direct the learned folk toward uk.legal.moderated ?

OffWep / tool ? If you aint got a good cause for havin' it, you'll get a sharp awakening in a certain Sheffield Court...

Sounds familiar my old transport manager Ron Greenwood (long since passed away) amazed our fitter who was towing Ron up the motorway. Ron was in a TR2 he had bought for restoration with no windscreen wearing those avaitors googles at around 70 mph when he moved out of the slipstream into view.This caused the fitter to squint into the mirror of the Transit tow vehicle to see if something was amiss Ron was calmly doing a rollup with one hand while steering with the other dexterity beyond belief especially when you think he had to perform the operation in the gale force winds coursing thru the Triumph.

I sed to regularly see, on the M1 coach chassis driven by a bloke in a crash helmet with a very small windscreen & no body at all!

Looks very funny!

Only when i'm working. I have to drive home afterwards - bus drivers are not kept in locked cabinets at the depot ready for the next mornings work.

I'd have to dispose of an awfull lot of rubbish to compete with the amount the passengers leave behind.

A good excuse to buy a truck cab !

They outlawed this a good few years ago when the Volvo plant at Irvine had a couple of serious problems (at least one fatality) caused by doing chassis runs during the winter and having the poor bloke frozen.

It did look funny though.

It must have been 10 years ago now, but it made me piss!

Provided you can demonstrate a legitimate use for it, you have very little to worry about. Unless of course, you use it for any 'different' purpose which cannot reasonably be claimed as self defence in a 'situation'. A carpet fitter once got off with using a Stanley knife during a fight - as he'd claimed he used it for work (I, it has to be said, would not necessarily have agreed with that decision).

I led a training day recently where I produced a 6 cell Maglite.

The same 6 cell Maglite I'd used some 8 odd years ago to 'defend' myself against a couple of 'burglars' (I believed them to be burglars, as they were in my back garden trying to force a window). I asked whether this could be accepted as an offwep.

Yeah, can't imagine you locked in the closet ;-)

Tell me about it. I try to use buses here as it's easier than driving onto the city centre and trying to park. After the skool-kiddies have left I could fill a couple of recycling bins with what's usually left.

The back of my 110 County looks like that at the moment - got the grandchildren for the school holidays. JD

Two barking dogs... (Any advance on two?) JD

"They" made it very complicated - which is pretty much why I decided to spin it that way in the training (I love new intakes!). The answer was simple: "no", and really should not have taken longer than 2 minutes to reach that decision.

In a different environment, with (proven) different motives however, it could easily be...

...'yes'.

Thats not a bad idea and would work in the Disco II already the coin drawer and ash tray are inter changeable either side of the front drinks holder.

You still need the availabilty of plugin 12v power though but they could use that as an excuse to provide a decent power socket and connector. You never know one designed for the job of providing power, reliably.

Another VW problem, they are perm live. Very irritating
