⌛ Anyone with access to BBC IPlayer

Hi.
Anyone who has access to BBC Iplayer ?? Sunday evening here in the Uk was a great programe called Toughest place to be a...Busdriver.
A 30ish year old chap who's job is as a Bus driver in London was taken to Manila for a week and hooked up with a Jeepney driver and Family. He had to learn to drive a Jeepney in Manila and finally take it on it's route around this quiet City Ho Ho. Great insight into all the issues faceing the general population. A visit to the Jeepney drivers Mom up on the north coast.A visit to the Tondo area. He did do it in the end but with lots of sweating, many tears and I am sure it has changed his life forever. A great watch.
Take care all

Hi Firefly, thanks for the link, just watched it with my asowa. Brought be back down to Earth, how lucky some of us have an option to live where we want. Have always felt like that though.

 

Hi firefly, I've just watched it.....thanks for the link.
It is a reminder on how fortunate we all are here in the west, what here we consider a bare necessity, to others is simply luxury.
Unconsiderate and spoilt youngsters here should experience what this guy went through, I'm sure it would be an eye opener to most.

 

Hi Ruanard. Sorry about that I though someone might have had a getaround maybe. Take care.

 

might be on you tube shortly.

Found on youtube in six parts will post a new thread as this is compulsive viewing. Note busy Manila road a pickup flies by with a black dog perched on the cab roof thought I was seeing things. Take care all.
