More Roamerisms from the early 1990s
■ Fort William’s tourism director Bruce Simpson was doubling as the Good Samaritan last Saturday morning. The previous day, at the ‘towrist’ office, Bruce had advised a visitor there was a Saturday bus service to Oban at 9.30am from the Transport Centre. Later on Friday, he realised the timetable had changed, with the bus now leaving from the Parade at 9.45am. So on Saturday morning, Bruce took himself to the transport centre well before half nine to explain this to the ‘towrist’. But 9.30am came and went, with no sign of the intending passenger. So Bruce moved along to the Parade, but the fella didn’t appear there either. Hope he got to Oban eventually. Meanwhile, Bruce was having a chequered start to his day off.
