Remember this post?
It was the one where I shared this graph:
And I said that the graph was 100% true. There is nothing more exciting than getting the front seat upstairs on a double decker bus at any age. I absolutely stand by that.
And then I said this:
I’m just sad that my kids never got to experience it.
And that prompted an email from my dad. He expressed his disappointment that my usually unerring accuracy on the blog had… er… erred.
Because he attached this image of my kids. It was taken at 3:30pm on Thursday 12th July 2012, and there they are – aged 6 and very almost 4 – on the front seat upstairs on a double decker bus.
And that looks like the bottom of West Street.
To be fair, I wasn’t there. I had no idea that this had happened.
This was clearly a Grandma and Granddad sponsored trip to town.
I was uninvolved.
(I was probably in a pub somewhere.)
So I was wrong. My kids did get to experience it.
But did they enjoy it?
Well, let’s check this photo, taken a minute later at the junction of Holly Lane.
Oh, I think so.
So it looks like I was absolutely right, as well.
