Running For A Bus

[Meechan27]

Because of one woman, the whole bus is now late. Deary Me.

[peterpeterxxo]

that woman should have got up earlier instead of lying around in bed masterbating.

[Foloman1]

@peterpeterxxo Agreed. She should have left that dildo in the drawer.

[peterpeterxxo]

woman at the end.."oh no i cant believe it, the selfish bitch has gone an died under the wheels of that car n now im gonna miss me hair appointment aint i..slaag"

[georgelee43211]

About a couple a years ago,I was crossing Broad st.and I paused for a minute as the cars stopped their was a path between two rows of cars in the traffic then suddenly a car flew like a bat out of Hell,If i walked a few seconds later i would have been road kill.

[michendo]

"Its not worth the risk" :I don't agree with this guys maths on that. I think it is worth the risk for the country as a whole.

1) Number of minutes saved by running for a bus : 5

2) Number of busses commuters catch per year: 400 ( assuming 2 per day, with holidays, etc)

3) Number of people killed running for a bus each year : "hundreds" : let's say 300

4) Number of bus commuters: assume 300,000

So, if everyone runs for busses, the number of minutes that will be saved is 5 x 400 x 300,000 for

[Voxac100b]

The lady at the end isn't pissed off because shes late for work shes disturbed with what she has just scene

[andymerrett]

There's no point catching the bus that gets you there on time these days because in reality it gets you there half-an-hour late.

[hdm67]

Did anyone notice that was Basil Fawlty's car that ran her down!!

[aredredrose1]

Yeah the old bat at the end looks disappointed, but my betting is she's secretly glad something interesting has finally happened on her way to work. And I bet she reeled that story out at the drop of a hat for years afterwards.

"Well, when I saw that poor young girl die on the road, God rest her soul ..." Christmases, weddings, you name it. Ruined :-(

[Glenn1967ful]

God these adverts crease me up. It is quite obvious that you don't run in front of a car. Also this advert shows its age as most people nowadays drive to work.,

[jazzx251]

@Glenn1967ful

These days will soon be back. Running a car is becoming VERY expensive.

[Glenn1967ful]

@jazzx251

Well if there was a bus service that was better publicised and didn't take so long.

[BarnSt0rmer]

@Glenn1967ful But people DO run in front of cars. All the time.

[johnmartinez449]

Only if you would drive on the "right" side of the road.

[jenzeppelin]

Beautiful clothing...people dressed with class back then...not like some of the trashy ensembles I see running around now.

[davidgrahamscott]

@jenzeppelin I totally and utterly agree...I tend to wear archive clothing myself

[Voxac100b]

@jenzeppelin The woman running for the bus is a very elegant lady!

[danglebearing]

What's wrong with the old hag at the end? Mr Blunder get his knob out again?

[Voxac100b]

@danglebearing Shes just seen a stiff lying on the road

[19bootsy68]

I wonder how many actors in this advert are still alive now?

[LookBetterNaked]

killed by a bus? so annoying.

[defender5151]

@LookBetterNaked No mate She was killed by a Maxi running for the bus.

[Mingowildcat]

People run for the bus because the bus drivers won't stop. One day I was passed by 2 different buses (not making their scheduled stop). I was so mad I took a taxi to the bus company office and made a complaint.

[jimjams91]

LMFAO the woman at the end, "oh how inconsiderate, her rotting corspe will hold me up for work."

[caturn88]

Gotta laugh at that last bit, she's late now.

[tribecatom]

I've never thought running for a bus could be so dangerous! Is it not crossing the road that she got wrong rather than going for the bus?

[anonUK]

I'm sure there are many many local buses which use the number 306. It's probably London (red Routemaster), but I suppose it could be any city or town. (Very) old 'G' reg indicates 1969-70.

Yes, I am a sad geek, although not a bus (or car) spotter. Not since my therapy...

[daveydave85]

yeah, that really looks like Patricia Routledge at the end

[Prokifiev]

@daveydave85 The actress looking out of the bus window was Molly (Mrs Slocombe) Sugden, Remember this from when I was a kid and "Are You Being Served" has just started on BBC1, me and my sister used to point at the telly and say "Oooh, my poor pussy" whenever this PFI came on.

[chibago1]

Now everyone's late. I was expecting them to get off the bus and run over and kick her. Was that Hyacinth Bucket in the last few seconds?

[MindlessPap]

henrycaville you made me LOL!

[6footsharon]

all the people on the bus are raging cos they're going to be late for work!!

[agfagaevart]

That's a bit harsh. The silly tart was only trying to save a few mins.

[magiclard]

the bus is a 306 and therefore it shouldnt be going through the West midlands,. To be shafter by an Austin Healy in Stafford in 1973 it must have been a double blow for her family, I hope she survived becasue she is quite a hotty even by the headscarf and popsox standards of the day.

[agfagaevart]

Heh heh. You noticed a lot. But you didn't spot the guy from the Strand Cigarettes advert at about 00:21, looking up from his book.

[magiclard]

LOL you got your eyes peeled. Obv nothing better to do-like me.

[agfagaevart]

We're two lazy sods, bored at work eh?

[magiclard]

Waiting for the shift to start :O)

[magiclard]

I cant believe I looked this up but Dallas, Newcastle and Aberdeen are the places to go if you want a 306. Given that she is dressed like one of the tarts from Get Carter I will plump for Newcastle but it does look a little too tidy. Think we can strike a line through Dallas.

[magiclard]

An ginominious end, shafted by an Austin Healy in the West Midlands in 1973. Old? Shes fit as a butchers dog!

[rippingdon]

The camera man in the car could have at least shouted a warning to the driver instead of climbing on his shoulder to photograph his shoes.

[BREN70S]

dude that comment was the best , i fuckin nearly choked laughing , cameraman in the car indeed , excellent , :)

[Spillage66]

HAHAH! I did a little wee laughing at that comment too! HAHAHA!

[CLASSICALJAJ]

Terrible ! Woman injured by being knocked over and Austin 1100 driver killed by being impaled on his steering column !

[kholman1994]

LOL why is everyone so happy that she got ran over? Am I missing something?

[johlufc]

It's that bloody Austin 1100 again.Does Stephen King know about this?

[agfagaevart]

I thought it was in the scrapyard, after the Cross-ply and Radials PIF.

[bules72]

Whilst running for that bus she stepped in some dog shit.

[soboneidol]

"Some old mare" That cracked me up that did!

[blackwhimsy]

My brother in law is home with a broken arm (required surgery) and foot after running for a bus.

So human stupidity is a renewable resource!

[kingalow1]

I knew that woman - she was such a cow - she actually deserved the pancake treatment...

[mistofoles]

Now she's caused a traffic jam and made everybody else late for work! I mean, how inconsiderate can you get??

[theignorantpeasant]

I saw someone's dog dragged along a station platform a month ago cos he ran for a train as the doors closed and couldn't possibly wait 10 minutes for the next one.

Luckily the dog wasn't too badly hurt. I wanted to hurt the man.

[ledge69]

A bus every five minutes?

Well she wasn't running for the 484 to Camberwell Green then.

[Tarquinbeaniebaby]

Why didn't the woman in the red hat get off the bus and help? She is a fully trained nurse!!! We worked together at Swindon Hospital in the early 1970s

[Hirsute63]

It was Mrs Slocombe wasn't it..? Look over there, it's Captain Peacock in another road safety ad...!

[Tarquinbeaniebaby]

No, you are not right... close but no cigar! She was actually called Sister Biggins and worked on D Ward at Swindon Royal Infirmary. She went on to work as a modern matron before retiring in 1996. Very similair to Mrs S, I'll grant you that!! Not sure about Captian P though.

[harleysmurf666]

Not surprised that car failed to stop, It's the one with mixed radials and crossplys!

[moksheebs]

@harleysmurf666 ZING.

[f1shm00]

haha all the other people run off the bus straight into the oncoming flow of traffic WITHOUT LOOKING

[Joe90ridesahonda]

deffo a morris minor that can be heard in the first 5 secs :-)

[mistofoles]

Presumably she missed it then?

[GBCOne]

But the car driver didn't miss her.

[mistofoles]

Ha!Yeah! By the way, did anybody else notice the car driver hit the brake AND the accelerator simulteanously??

[charleem]

No, in the UK we have 3 pedals on most cars, he hit the clutch and the brake.

[H2324]

(the woman at the end) what a dumb ass, now im going to b late for work!! SHIT!!

[thomasking55]

great to see this old film, I feel a better citizen for it!

[Chiggs58th]

I can't believe I actually remember this shit! Frak I'm getting old!

[jiggarypokery]

LOVE the womans face at the end 'Oh now am going to be late for work'
