SAMARITAN sympathy and guidance are now needed more by the unemployed than by the hippies who 10 to 20 years ago,1 gather, leant heavily on that splendid befriending service. Arnold, the 1965 Leyland Leopard coach that takes Samaritans to outdoor events throughout the country, is often seen in shopping precincts and at labour rallies rather than at the pop festivals of past decades.
Not to be outdone in magnanimity, British Road Services has enrolled ARN 775C in free membership of the BRS Rescue service end the Wolverhamptor branch of Midlands BRS has given the coach a thorough overhaul. According to Ted Baker, branch manager, the mechanics enjoyed working on an old-timer "with so much character."
VISITORS to the National Exhibition Centre next month are promised "a traditional OAF Truck and Bus 'Show Spectacular' the like of which has hot been seen before at a UK Commercial Motor Show."
I hear rumours of topless buses performing exotic mamba routines under progressively lowering bridges.
