Coming from Notts/Derby, I often said this to my Yorkshire missus… she had no idea what I was talking about. She does now! 😂

Watched this when it first came out. “How much Alfreton” became our our phrase for how much something cost.

OMG I used to LOVE this advert & whenever I was planning to get a bus I wud always have my late parents in hysterics by copying thè woman & going from room to room til I got to front door. Miss them SO much .... loved the good old days x

She's closer to 130 now, she lives next door to me. She's still a passionate runner too, jogs twice a day and is hoping to beat Usain Bolt's 100m record. She's only 0.09 of a second off at the minute

old, but really good :-)

This is brilliant

Travel permits, no chance now.

Found this on a hardrive in the attic along with other random recordings my grandparents saved and I lost my mind

Very funny.

How times change. Funny in councils no longer want to fund rural bus routes, but continue to hold their hands out for council tax

That's because council tax only accounts for between 15% to 25% of spending the rest come from central government grants that have be reduced in real terms every year for the last 13 years

We're here to help you. Oh the irony

LOL!

80p is dirt cheap though. How can't someone afford that? Today a trip like that would be £5.

Probably somewhere around Matlock, Ambergate or Oakerthorpe which are all not far from Alfreton. Don't hold me to it though!

Almost certain it would have been Cromford or Matlock, that's where that service would have gone in the former West Derbyshire district (where the lady's pass is from).
