With the delights of the very purple time of year, many of you are looking forward to the four day Bank Holiday weekend. While you are all enjoying slice of Jubilee cake, washing it down with a glass of Prince Charles’ Duchy Estate wine and burning in the sun (while obviously, clearly, thinking about those of us still working) you will probably want to avoid the drink driving ban and want to travel by bus.
