Hiya everyonemy name is Steve Woffinden. I've been a bus driver for the last 23yrs, I now find myself finished through ill health. Due to a lung removal 4 yr ago where my nerves along a rib were severed that has left me in constant agony ever since. Enough of my whinging it's just another story to add to everyone elses. How is everyone?

Hello Steve (I'm guessing
) @stevewoffinden, and welcome to the community. I am sorry to hear of your trials but glad that you have found your way to us.
No-one is 'just another story', and there is nothing whingeing about your post. So, this is a safe place and you are very much among friends here. Don't be shy of telling us more about yourself or of asking us any questions. The better we get to know you, the more easily we may find ways to help and support you.
And, for what it is worth, I have tremendous admiration for bus drivers, including my local ones who so remarkably thread their single-deckers through spaces I'd fear to take my tiny Fiat through.
Warmest best wishes to you,

So thank you for sharing with us!

I'm looking forward to chatting to everyone, as it's really depressing being stuck in the house bored out of my mind. Grandson here at the moment so I'm not too bad now. He's 4 going on 40 and cheers me up no end. I could take a while before get the chance to get back to you... sorry I'm not being rude
