MAGICAL MYSTERY TOUR

Tuesday has become a regular run to Kings Lynn,using our bus passes.Kings Lynn is nothing special as towns go but its good for a 3 hour stroll a good cup of regular latte and an organic shortbread at Cafe Nero.So today was to be just another trip or so we thought.We walked down to the end of the road and waited for our pickup by our regular driver Robin at 9.26 precisely,you see if nothing else Robin is always on time,but not today we waited and waited but he didnt arrive,we were just about to give up when one of the neighbours came out and told us Robins coach was in for a service and Dave would be coming,the only trouble being Dave had'nt a clue as to the route.How she knew all this info live no idea.Anyway Dave didnt turn up but another bus did which was the 10.00am so on we got still wondering where the hell Dave was.We finally got to Kings Lynn at 11.00 am,so our 3 hour stroll was down to a 2.5hours as the bus was due to leave at 13.20 or at least Daves bus was,but we didnt know whether it had arrived or not,so we planned to get the 13.10 back as that was the bus we came on.
So we arrived back at the bus terminal at 13.05 ready to get the 13.10 back,but who should turn up but a beaming Dave with the 13.20,10mins early.Now this caused utter confusion with the majority of the pensioners(believe me there is nothing worse than a group of confused pensioners loaded down with Christmas shopping) who thought it was the 13.10 and of course got on only to see the 13.10 leave at 13.15 5mins before us.We pulled away at 13.20 with a coach load of 13.10 ers all talking and demanding of the smiling Dave what route he was taking.Unfortunately smiley Dave didnt have a clue and proceeded to set off at a good lick in a general Southerly direction.Well we seemed to go down every farm track and single track road he could find whilst being yelled by old age pensioners asking DRIVER DRIVER ARE YOU GOING TO WRETTON,ARE YOU GOING TO STOKE FERRY ETC ETC .Not once did his smile fade.We eventually made it back to Northwold still with a load of passengers not knowing where they would be going to or whether they would ever see their homes again.For all I know they are still probably at the mercy of Dave as they trundle round the lanes of West Norfolk,with Radio 1 blaring out and a fixed grin on his face.Perhaps I'll read about it tomorrow
