There is a by-election going on in Brecon and Radnor and the Brexit Party have fielded a candidate. Our friends live in the Brecon Beacons alongside the A470 and yesterday their grandson came in and said that the Brexit double decker bus was trying to get up the adjoining lane to the farm. Now anyone with any sense would not try to take a low slung double decker bus up a farm lane on one of the steepest mountains in the Beacons. The inevitable happened and the bus grounded and looks like it damaged the sump.
They had no option but to reverse back to the main road. After a brief inspection they decided to carry on down the road towards Merthyr Tydfil but something must have happened as they then decided to turn right into a layby. Again any professional driver would have known that it was a no no. Sure enough they couldn't make the turn but to make matters worse they again grounded the back end with the front wedged into a field gate.
Result, the Brexit Party decided to exit the bus whilst leaving the rear end sticking out dangerously onto the busy A470.
Buy hey Nigel, want someone that can drive a bus. I'm free.
