No Paint on Bus in Devon!

Has the world gone mad??? An over 65-year-old man was refused passage on a bus in Devon because he was carrying a tin of fence paint that he had bought from a DIY store! Apparently paint cannot be carried on Transdev Yellow Buses because it might cause a mess! Now in the hands of 'playful' teenagers this could be a problem, but I don't think that a pensioner is going to cause too much trouble! It's another one in the eye for the environmentalists as we're always being told that it is better for the world if we use more public transport. Our victim in this case was rescued by a friend who drove him the 10 miles back home (seriously damaging the environment in the process!)!
