Brian is 26 years old today and walking around Britain after working for the last 10 years. He was 5’8” thin but muscular. His parents ran a bus company in another county and it was taken over by a large bus line company. Brian did not like the company so he left. He had a bus drivers licence since he was 16, Actually he had been driving busses since he was 13, In the bus yard for dad.

Whilst walking in the valleys, he noticed a sign where the village was looking for a casual bus driver. He walked into the office and was taken on immediately. He had the licence and other paperwork. The owner took him for the daily run. It was not a complex route but his job was afternoon and evenings. After two days he was left to drive on his own. He did obtain a small home rental from Mrs Jones for six months.

On the third evening alone he dropped all of the people home, he took the extra step of not dropping them at the bus stop but at their homes if close to the stop. Some he dropped at the start of their street. A lot of people really liked his extra service. On Saturday night he picked up the pub people and dropped them home, they were usually a merry bunch. He did refuse anyone drunk or who had been sick. He left these for the local taxi.

Tonight a nice looking red head slim lady entered the bus and wanted to be taken along the valley road. She has just arrived from London to visit her aunt. Being the last drop off, introducing herself as Ann, Brian asked “Would you like a ride up the valley and I’ll drop you off home on the way back down?”

As it was early and still light, Ann agreed. She sat, in her short skirt and pink mohair top just behind Brian. They were talking about each other, Brian about his life as a bus driver, he also mentioned some of the valley highlights. At the valley end he found he was fifteen minutes early, so he stopped at the turn bay and they got out to look at the valley in the dusk. Sitting on the bus stop seat she sat close to him. He could feel her body heat. He asked “Are you just staying with your aunt for long?”

Ann put her hand on his and replied “Long enough to get my mind in order. I was a business manager and the company was taken over by an aggressive Yankee management company. Their first day they doubled the sales staff targets with penalties for non achievement. This is against the law here in this country, not that they listened. On day two a lady came in and purchased my monthly sales target. So they used me as an example for achievement without my permission. I demanded they withdraw the promotion they were using without my permission. The stupid sales director refused. So a friend of mine, a lawyer sued the new company for breach of contract and no production fees. I was sacked the following morning with the stupid sales director, putting in writing, the reason as defrauding the company. My lawyer laughed at the letter and added to the law case with unfair dismissal. When the company lawyers saw the letter they settled the case very quickly. No way did they want this to go to court. They demanded a confidentially clause. I agreed if they gave a 1000% increase excluding legal costs. They quickly agreed much to the surprise of my lawyer. I got the full amount and they paid all of her high fees. It was 30% of any win.”
