AT LAST WE'VE COVERED LIVERPOOL BUSES

Despite yet another incorrect weather forecast by the BBC we went over to Liverpool and stuck at it albeit the sun was out just a tad too much to start but it clouded over as time went by which enabled me to get the coverage we wanted and also bumped into one of our bus friends so that's two days in a row I've met people on my travels, small world indeed. I'm now right up to date with editing and just about to load the clips from Huddersfield and Liverpool on our Youtube channel where the revenue is starting to take off after the New Year doldrums. That's important to all of you because we need to get funding for these great adventures and there are many more to come this year.

Tomorrow I hope to finish off my film in Stoke on Trent which came to a halt before when I was abused by a First Polish driver coming out to the main road after leaving the bus station, it had been quiet post Brexit but the right wing fascist elements seem to be getting their strength  and confidence back, we will not countenance their behaviour even if First Group are willing to stand by this type of individual what right have they got to remain in Britain if the don't like our way of life, threats and intimidation have gone on for years even backed by the Scottish Government and police - there must be an end to it. It was so good in Asia meeting such lovely bus and lorry drivers and never a frown, today I got one of the Stagecoach drivers who tried to pull his side screen down but it wouldn't stay down, misery, anyway he just looked the other way, it was all easier once you just got a v sign and that was that!

Anyway lets have some shots of the buses in Liverpool, after its brief renaissance it looks the pits again, squalor and filth and run down with thousands of homeless filling every unused doorway. It's almost a relief for Manchester for there to be somewhere that is an equal mess.
