A FRIEND, his brother and his two sons, all Saints supporters, booked a coach to travel up to see the AFC Totton match, the new Wembley stadium and Bobby Moore's statue.

After boarding a coach they were told it was the wrong one and were put on another. This failed to start and they all had to disembark while their coach was moved to allow another coach to move. Miraculously their coach then started and they all piled in.

Soon into the journey my friend wondered how the driver could see out of the misted up windscreen and was told his de-mister wasn't working! So he and his brother took it in turns to clear the windscreen for the driver.

The coach broke down at Fleet, but by the time a replacement arrived after nearly two hours the majority of the passengers decided to return home.
