Southern Vectis Deliver Two Ronnies-style Joke

Here’s something to lift the spirits for those back at work after the bank holiday.

Anyone that does it, knows that writing Tweets, or indeed writing in general, can occasionally be a challenge. Slippages happen from time to time and sometimes humour comes out that wasn’t intended.

Southern Vectis have been Tweeting for quite some time, giving people useful updates about the running of their buses. Last night they tweeted out something that we couldn’t resist sharing with you.

It’s a classic Two Ronnies-style joke news item.

At 22:28 their first Tweet was …

“Route 3 currently diverting around St Pauls Ave at Shanklin due to hole in road at top of Languard Road.”

Continuing at 22:30 …

“cont. … the hole is being looked into by the council.”

Boom, boom!

For those of you that are too young to remember the Two Ronnies, or indeed just want to relive some of their humour, the video below contains the closest similar joke we could find.
