First Bus - Spawn of Thatcher. Used to be Grampian Transport, the municipal bus service in Aberdeen. Management buy-out in the '80s. Change of colour from mouldy green. Began buying up routes in other Scottish cities, gave Scotrail a go, moved into Englandshire. Extortionate prices. Gratifyingly getting it's hole kicked by Lothian Regional Transport in Edinburgh. Huzzah. A horrible, horrible company. Advert bugging me is the John Lewis one. Warping The Smiths, and shameless to boot. Gads min. And the Blackberry drivel before every phuckin' programme on Sky Atlantic, wi' the voice of thon manny fae Game of Thrones. Bloody hard to go from FFx12 to Play while missing out the entirety of the bloody ad.
