Festive fun on the 143

On the way home from the museum yesterday, the bus drew up at a stop and a bloke gets on.

The following conversation ensues between him and the driver:

BLOKE: How much does a ticket cost to Withington?  Haven't a clue, 'cause I've never got on a bus in my entire life.

DRIVER: £1.20, mate [or however much it was].  How come you've never got on a bus in your entire life, then?

BLOKE:  Always driven a car, haven't I?

DRIVER:  So what happened to your car?

BLOKE:  Coppers took it off me just half an hour ago.  'Cause I didn't have any insurance, see?

Bus continues on down Wilmslow Road, until it reaches the stop before my one.  The doors hiss open.

DRIVER:  There you go.  Hope you get your car back soon, mate.

The bloke gets off.

BLOKE:  (just before bus doors close again) It'll be fucking crushed, won't it?  I'll just have to buy a new one tomorrow.

Driver shrugs and rolls his eyes as he drives off.

Cue much concealed hilarity on the part of the passengers.
