Re: Accy Buses............
My friend, her husband (whose name is Dennis), and a bus enthusiast friend and myself were in Peel Street many years ago. She said to her husband, whilst pointing at a bus. "Just look at that woman driving that, Dennis." to which the friend responded. "It's a 'Guy'. " to which Dennis replied. "No, It's definitely a woman!"
