I was a brand new bus driver in the early seventies Cherry Knowles was my destination picking up passengers from Park Lane bus station, I completed my journey at the terminus inside the hospital grounds, all of the passengers mostly medical staff and visitors had got off my bus, all but one, sitting on the long back seat was a young man and he was not moving, I said to him this is it mate its as far as I go, there is another stop after this one he replied, it was my first time driving this route and i was unsure about the information he was telling me so i complied with his instructions and drove further into the hospital, the road started getting narrower and i thought to myself this is no bus route it was then he chose to disembark laughing as he jumped off, I was stuck with no way to turn around I had to look for help from a male nurse who guided me as I reversed the bus to the terminus, I thanked the nurse for his assistance and told him about the laughing young man Oh he said thats Gary a patient of the mental hospital he often tries that trick on new bus drivers.

e amp@@malcolmmason528 The VT 100 I have has a knob at the back to turn the wattage down. So that is turned down or the neighbours would not be happy. It is still plenty powerful enough. Can't remember the settings I used but I can't think I have changed much since I played this. I take it the one you have bought is an old valve amp ?

Yes, ECT was a treatment that was carried out . In my day in the 70's patients were not awake when this was carried out. Initially, in the 30's ( not sure when that stopped ) they were conscious. I am not sure but it may still be an option as a last resort. Someone more recently working in the field may comment on this.
