A real dampener AFTER enjoying the high of Glenn Hughes at the Grand Opera House a few weeks ago, I experienced a massive low last Friday (July 8) teatime.

After alighting from a No 9 Monks Cross bus at about 6.30pm alongside The Stray, Malton Road, with my girlfriend we crossed the busy road and look forward to our tea and a spot of karaoke later that night.

But we hadn’t bargained for the actions of an idiot in a white BMW (I think 10 or 11 reg plate) who deliberately drove into the bus lane alongside us at about 60mph plus.

After the afternoon’s torrential rain, said bus lane resembled Lake Placid, and you’ve guessed it, haven’t you? We were hit by a giant tsunami wall of water which drenched us from head to foot.

Now I am sure that all the passing motorists who witnessed this had a good giggle (we were not laughing, I can assure you), but did anyone actually note his number, for it was a man (sorry, moron) driving?

So cheers Mr White BMW man for ruining our evening and our clothes.
