Fat Tuesday

There is discontent in the North this morning with the news that the bus service is being slowed down by the weight of the pie-loving drivers!

The bus company have had to take drastic measures and are attempting to get a couple of the porkers to lose weight .

Apparently they exceed the 20 stone limit* , and have to be greased and shoehorned into their compartments.

(* About average size for an American).

The unions have organised industrial action, but have voted against marching as that would be too much like exercise.

"Why do you think I became a bus driver in the first place?" a spokesman said. "Where-else can you get out and about whilst sitting on yer arse all day?" before adding: "Are you going to eat those chips?"
