Derbyshire Council bus advert 1980s (funny)

A funny old advert from Derbyshire council from about the mid-1980s. Sorry, this one has had a laugh track added.

[@andymartell7296]

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

[@fruitbatanne]

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

[@josiejones1539]

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

[@ihatnecksered]

Still say this whenever I pass a sign for Alfreton

[@gareththomas6714]

That’s very funny -made me laugh 😂

That Woman's Probably Over 120 Years Old Now

[@TheJayLordx]

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

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

[@old.not.too.grumpy.]

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

@@old.not.too.grumpy. well said. Unfortunately, some seem impervious to facts these days.

Just wonderful The lady looks my mum

[@logiebogieboo_curr]

Lady: how much monney for a ticket. Driver: 80p. Later: she has disabled card

[@liamrendell1813]

Old women:how much is it to alfreton. me be like:(shows free bus pass)how much is it to alfreton the driver:nothing

[@abloogywoogywoo]

LOL

[@scousertom0388]

LOL!

[@Mgameing123]

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

[@HamishG199]

It was different back then

[@AK.2425]

It would probably be £2 considering the bus ticket cap by the government, unless they don’t do it in Derbyshire.

[@bahane]

How much it 'Often duc?

[@massonman9099]

Where was this shot, please? Anyone know?

[@MrGrumpygit488]

Somewhere near Alfreton I guess?

[@romeofoxtrot]

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

[@massonman9099]

@@romeofoxtrot I know that, but where? I was hoping someone could be specific.

[@bjornhattan6026]

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).

[@ihatnecksered]

The bridge looks like the one crossing the Derwent from Rowsley to Chatsworth
