Pictures from our picnic (by Lisbeth) and cycle tour
Only in Ireland …
During my recent trip to Ireland I found myself sitting on the Drogheda to Dublin bus.
Here I overheard a conversation between a fellow passenger and the driver. The passenger was wondering why he, on several occasions, had been bypassed by the bus when he was waiting at a particular bus stop. The short reply from the driver was, “Drop Off Only”.
After e little encouragement from my fellow passenger the driver chose to elaborate and the gist of what he said was, Bus Eireann is not licensed to pick up passengers there, but Dublin Bus is. The argument that there was only a Bus Eireann sign and no Dublin Bus sign there, was lost on the driver.
I’m sure there is a perfectly logical explanation to why Dublin Bus is licensed to pick up passengers at a stop with a Bus Eireann sign while Bus Eireann is not. What boggled my mind was the drivers reply, when questioned why there was no sign saying “Drop Off Only”.
His reply was, “Ah sure - everybody knows that!”
