One of the things about a coach tour is that you are unlikely to have previously met any of your fellow passengers and it is pot luck as to whether you get on with them or not. And of course you will always get those who seem to be the centre of attention or nuisance and unwittingly or not, get most attention from the crew and tend to dominate activity on board.
This is the final post in the blog se we will summarise some of them:-
a) The Scottish Windbag: A little guy, travelling alone, reminded us a bit of Jimmy Kranky, was a prolific talker, managing to have hour long, or more, conversations on board with nearest neighbours with a totally irritating Scottish accent. The Scottish accent you can take for a while but hours of it is just too much. He was at the back of the coach and even those at the front cold hear him.
b)The Youngsters: Most of the people on a Leger coach trip outside of school holidays tend to be elderly/retired. We had a middle ages couple on board in their late 30's/early 40's who really seemed to be out of place. they did not go on the excursions, smoked a lot, drank a lot, got regularly drunk and argued a lot. The lady seemed to have a bladder problem, just about the only one using the coach toilet. The guy was also a phantom whistler.
c) The Teachers. Both retired. She was really creepy, he was like DLT with a beer pot. Had a really immature attachment to hard Rock cafes.
