Hey gang!
Interesting event unfolded at my place of work earlier this week. I work in a village pub (as much as I despise the place
) so you can imagine, not an awful lot of excitement happens in a sleepy village. Lo and behold, on Monday afternoon around 2pm, I got a call from one of my work colleague uttering the words, "A bus has driven into the pub!" I thought he was joking at first but then he told me that's he's been forced to work BECAUSE a bus had driven into the pub; it was his day off but he had to cover for the landlady who was upset by the incident. Curiousity getting the better of me, I past by the pub and, to my surprise, there was a bus half hanging over the beer garden wall of the pub!
Apparently, the driver either fell asleep at the wheel or blacked out and swerved into the outside wall surrounding the beer garden. Thankfully, the bus didn't hit the actual building, nor did it hit anyone sitting in the beer garden. What makes the whole thing scarier is that there is usually a table right by where the bus wiped out the wall! But, the landlady moved the outside furniture about the night before and forgot to move this one particular table back to its regular place. Thank God she didn't! The bus driver was carted off to hospital and apparently there was one other passenger on the bus who had minor injuries but thankfully, there were no major harmings. The wall is completely levelled and now we're suddenly the most famous pub in the area. Sadly, there is no online article about this but we've saved the newspaper clipping of the incident and a photo was taken of the bus just after it hit the wall. I'll take a snappy of them and posted them up here after work. Just thought I'd share that little anecdote with you all! Peace out people!
