x-post with Ponders.

It's interesting that I originally posted the link to the bbc website at 16:27, where it basically said the same as it does now although it was updated at 15:08. But the DM didn't update until 20:41.

It seems the DM likes to print stories but doesn't seem to keep track of them.

what is wrong with people?
Is making up a story about being thrown off a bus for breastfeeding the new black?

isn't this like a weekly occurrence? Some deluded attention-seeker goes public with a perceived slight by a bus company?
Am sure I've seen about three of these threads on here at least. Time for an 'On the buses' topic maybe?

a-ha

If a bus driver confronted me in this way, I would stop feeding...baby may start crying, and then I would let every body listen to baby cry until I reached my stop.

I would probably be crying too by then.

And then I would go to the buys company......

It appears she lies.

What a knob.

Typical, just when you wait ages for a made up story about a mum thrown off a bus for breastfeeding two arrive at the same time.

Another one lying
What are they playing at?
I give my finest cats bum face in her direction. For her conduct, and her baby name. Shameful.

lol crackfox

I want to see a bit more imagination in the next made up thrown off public transport story.

I wonder if accusing busdrivers of throwing you off buses for breastfeeding is a new kind of extreme sport for bored women of newborns?

Wonder if the rules stipulate that the bus must have CCTV so you can be made to look like a mug when it comes out you are lying...

bored women of newborns makes absolutely no sense whatsoever...
I knew what I meant.. Bored mothers.

Right, now we have got that breastfeeding ban outrage nonsense out of the way, can we settled down and rip the piss mercileslsly out of D'Marion.

He can star in a remake of Maid Marion when he is older. D'Maid D'Marion and his D'Merry D'Men!

D'Maid D'Marion and his D'Merry D'Men

I just cackled very loudly at that one.

lolol

the saga continues :

from DM

Blardy hell, she wears earrings like that with a newborn grabbing at them?! A braver woman than me

As the bus driver had to ASK the lady if she was feeding, clearly it was not that obvious ... ie was probably discreet

haha gotta love bus cctv

what a fucking idiot

OMG those earings and that poor baby's name!!!!!

to answer the Q why do people not realise they are on CCTV on a bus - same reason morons try to rob banks/bookies without wearing any headwear/disguise - they are just stoopid!

as an aside, when teaching I once sat in on a headteachers meeting with the parents of a girl in my form - they were denying her bad behaviour on the bus,which she had been banned from using - it must have been someone else, who had said her name,they were lying etc etc - then out came the video and it was all there to be seen. poor woman was mortified!!

I was still trying to get my head round the 'pulled UP my jumper..pulled DOWN my tee shirt' bit. Haven't quite succeeded at it yet but then again I have turtle necks ones.
I like her idea about bf stopping wars in the middle east though. if only that was all we had to do...

"I even went on the internet because at first I did feel a bit funny about it. It said that you can"

Dont know why but that made me rofl! ...it said that you can!!

Have a vision of her kneeling before her pc "oh wise one, oh holy Internet...can I breastfeed D'Marion in public?"

Dial-up tone - then something sounding like Stephen Hawking; "Yes child. I say that you can".
