We never seemed to get on a bus that often as there were more than enough Stalwarts that we could freeze to death in the back of!

I always found that as soon I was on the bus, I was ordered "off the bus" again. I don't actually recall going anywhere in one.

Bus? Sorry, the duty bus has gone to Rinteln to pick up a load if nurses for the NAAFI bop.

Your Regt obviously dipped out on the bidding for ranges, you had to be on the ranges during the school holidays in order to get the coaches as they were all allocated to get the brats to school rather than troops to the firing point.

Buses in the good old BAOR days were longer and bigger and more powerful. When you hit someone with one of those buses they went down and stayed down. The modern buses in service today with their small fuel tanks and weak brakes just don't have the range or stopping power. "Most bus journeys are 200km or less." Huh!

Same for me but then we always got told to get back on the bus

Often we would be advised - the company will prepare to move from grid ### to grid ### by helicopter. The helicopter would never arrive but a bus would.
