‼️ IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT INCOMING… PLEASE REMAIN CALM ‼️

Right, I feel like it’s finally time to address the elephant in the room…

The bloke/woman/person/creature that runs this page has absolutely ZERO connection to the owners of Ridley’s Coaches.

Well… apart from being an employee.

And being paid by Ridley’s.

And having access to the coaches.

And spending an unhealthy amount of time thinking about what ridiculous thing to post next.

But apart from THAT… absolutely no connection whatsoever. 🤣

Apparently, someone took exception to one of my posts the other week and decided to have a little moan about how “it’s not professional for a company owner to say things like that.”

Well, firstly… I’m not the company owner.

Secondly… 3-0 to me.

And thirdly… mate, it’s social media. Nobody died. Put the kettle on.

For the avoidance of doubt, this page is run by an employee of Ridley’s. He/she/they/it doesn’t own the company, doesn’t get any extra money for running this page and certainly doesn’t sit in the boardroom making multimillion-pound business decisions.

They just get paid to do their actual job… and apparently decided that annoying the internet would be a good use of their spare time. 😂

The page is here to advertise the fantastic coach company owned by Becs & Jord, whilst hopefully giving you a laugh along the way.

Occasionally I get “reined in” by Mrs Director Lady… although most of the time I suspect she just sits back with a glass of wine and a bowl of popcorn watching the chaos unfold.

We talk about our coaches, our drivers, our jobs, the coach industry, occasionally other coaches, sometimes things that probably shouldn’t be funny but somehow are…

And every now and again, we even post something serious and professional just to remind everyone that we actually know what we’re doing. 😂

Ultimately, it’s just me trying to bring a little bit of entertainment to the increasingly weird world of social media.

If you don’t like it…

That’s absolutely fine.

Even my wife doesn’t like me most of the time. I’ve developed a thick skin.

But if you do enjoy the posts, make sure you share the page with your mates, colleagues, family, neighbours, milkman, dentist, postman or that random bloke you stood next to at the bus stop yesterday.

Better still, stop someone randomly in the street and shout:

“OI YOU! FOLLOW RIDLEY’S COACHES! THEY’VE GOT THE FUNNIEST, MOST SARCASTIC AND SLIGHTLY UNHINGED COACH PAGE ON SOCIAL MEDIA!” 😂😂😂

They’ll either follow us…

…or cross the road.

Either way, it’s engagement. 🤷‍♂️😂

Right…

Back to my proper job.

I’ve probably got a coach to organise, an email to answer or someone asking me where their driver is.

‼️ END OF IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT. YOU MAY NOW RESUME WHATEVER IT WAS YOU WERE DOING. ‼️

Ridley’s Coaches, professional enough to get you there, daft enough to make you laugh on the way.

Tom Hanks and Mr. Rogers are distant cousins

Tom Hanks played Fred Rogers in the 2019 film, A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood, but their connection doesn’t stop here. An Ancestry dig into their family trees found the two are actually sixth cousins who share a five-times great grandfather. What’s more, they’re also both descendants from two American brothers who fought in the Revolutionary War, according to People magazine.

TODAY’S THE DAY… BACK TO SCHOOL DAY, DAY!

The holidays have been and gone.

The late nights, lie-ins, ice creams, days out, trips away, questionable amounts of snacks and the occasional “Muuuuum, I’m bored” have all come to an end…

And now…

IT’S BACK TO SCHOOL!

For some of you, it’s another year of school.

For others, it’s a brand-new adventure, first day of nursery, primary school, secondary school, college, sixth form, university or whatever exciting chapter comes next.

And if today is your FIRST DAY…

GOOD LUCK! ❤️

You’ve got this.
You really, really do.

And here at Ridley’s, we’re genuinely so excited to see you all again. Our drivers have missed you! They’re looking forward to seeing all those familiar faces, hearing about your adventures, finding out who had the best holiday and, of course, safely getting you where you need to be.

Although we suspect there may be a few sleepy faces this morning.

But there’s something else we want to ask of you today…
If you get on the bus and see someone sitting on their own…
If you see someone looking nervous…
If someone looks like they don’t know where to sit…
SMILE AT THEM.
Say hello.
Sit with them.
Ask them how their day is going.
And most importantly…

INCLUDE THEM. ❤️

Because starting somewhere new can be bloody terrifying.

A new school.
A new class.
New teachers.
New faces.
A new routine.

And for some, even getting on that school bus for the very first time can feel like the biggest thing in the world.

You might not realise it, but that tiny “Hi, do you want to sit with us?” could completely change someone’s day.
So look after each other.
Be kind.
Be welcoming.
Be the person you would have wanted to meet on YOUR first day.
Because remember…

YOU WERE THE NEW KID ONCE TOO.

So from all of us at Ridley’s…
To the nervous ones.
The excited ones.
The ones who can’t wait to go back.
The ones who absolutely, categorically DO NOT WANT TO GO BACK. 😂
The ones starting somewhere completely new…

YOU GOT THIS.

Now get that uniform on.
Find the other shoe.
Grab your bag.
Stop pretending you can’t find your coat when it’s literally in your hand.

And LET’S GO!

HAPPY FIRST DAY BACK, EVERYONE!

We’ll see you on the bus

CAN YOU HEAR THAT?

That’s the unmistakable sound of the “I’ll do it in a minute” parent…

You know the one.

The parent who has spent the entire summer saying:

“Don’t worry, we’ve got loads of time.”

“It’ll only take a minute.”

“I’ll sort it later.”

And then suddenly…

IT’S THE NIGHT BEFORE SCHOOL. 😳

And guess what? You haven’t done HALF the stuff you were meant to do. Sound familiar?

Yep.

Same. 😂😂😂

Right, let’s do a little back-to-school checklist…

Child?
Best have a little sip of wine… purely for hydration purposes.
School bag?
Another sip to help us on our way…
Pencil case?
Hmmmm… where did we put that?
Wine?
A bottle gone already?!
This checklist is progressing beautifully.
Shoes?
Siiiiiiip… sippy sippy… hic.
School shirts?
WIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIINEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
PE kit?
Hic… Whiny woo, where are you?
Bus pass?
WHAT DO YOU MEAN WE DON’T HAVE A BUS PASS?! YOU HAD ONE JOB, CARL. ONE. JOB.
Right…
Everything else can wait until tomorrow.
Hic.
Zzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzzz… 😴

And THAT, ladies and gentlemen, is how we prepare for the first day of school.
If anyone needs us tomorrow morning…
We’ll be stood outside the school gates at 8:57am, holding a missing PE kit, one shoe, a cold cup of coffee and questioning every life decision we’ve ever made.

GOOD LUCK, PARENTS.

You’ve got this.

Probably.

Maybe.

It’s illegal to run out of fuel on the Autobahn

Running out of fuel on Germany’s fast-speed highway is against the law because it’s seen as a preventable circumstance. Stopping on the autobahn, eve, is prohibited unless it’s an absolute emergency.

Guess what...?

It's that time of year again... we're on the lookout for some fantastic drivers to join our amazing team!

U.S. coins used to say “Mind Your Business”

The first U.S. coin in circulation said “Mind Your Business” instead of “In God We Trust.” Benjamin Franklin was responsible for coming up with the initial motto, but the wording changed to “In God We Trust” during the Civil War, mainly as a response to increased religious sentiment.

🎓 IT’S GCSE RESULTS DAY…

So… how did you do?

Did you open that envelope and think “YESSSS!”?
Or was it more of a “Well… that could have gone better” moment? 😂

Whatever camp you’re in today, take a breath.

Right now, those results probably feel like they are the most important thing in the entire world. And we get it. You’ve worked hard, worried, revised, panicked, revised some more, and probably stared at the clock during exams willing time to move faster.

But here’s the thing…

Those grades measure how you performed in a set of exams on a few particular days. They do NOT measure you.

They don’t measure how kind you are.
They don’t measure the joy you bring to your friends and family.
They don’t measure your creativity, your humour, your determination, your compassion, your courage or the person you’re going to become.

They are just grades on a piece of paper.

And whether you smashed it, scraped through, or didn’t get what you hoped for…

We are proud of you.

If today hasn’t gone the way you wanted, please remember that your GCSE results are not the end of your story. There are plenty of different routes into careers, businesses, universities and opportunities, and some incredibly successful people didn’t exactly cover themselves in glory at school!

And if you absolutely smashed it, bloody well done! 👏 You deserve to celebrate. Be proud of what you’ve achieved, because you worked for it.

But remember this…

Your past is written. Your future isn’t.

Today is just one chapter.

So whatever that piece of paper says, hold your head up, be kind to yourself and keep moving forward.

The world needs you, not just your grades. ❤️

Now, on a slightly less inspirational note…

🚌 If your GCSE results mean you’re heading off to 6th form, we’ve still got a few spaces available on our school transport.

And there aren’t many!

So before Mum and Dad start asking how you’re getting to school in September… get booked in! 😂

Congratulations to every single one of you.

You’ve got this. ❤️
