And then you would get the "no smoke without fire" people, stating that there must be some basis for the story, otherwise why would it be denied.

Lose-lose situation.

You're right - the cover-up is starting to spread......

First
Quote:
Following an alleged incident involving our service and the refusal of a young passenger wearing an England shirt, the following statement has been issued to the media.

Paul De Santis, Commercial Director for First said: "The claim made about one of our drivers' behaviour is a very serious one and we have been in touch with this woman several times to try to establish what actually happened.

"We have carried out a full investigation and can't find any evidence to substantiate this claim. No driver fitting the description given was working on any routes in this area at that time. Our buses were busy around the time yet no one else has been in touch with us about this alleged incident.

"We expect the highest level of professionalism from our drivers and such an act would not be tolerated. However, in this instance it now appears that no such incident took place.

"Far from banning England shirts on our buses First is fully supportive of England's World Cup campaign and we are, in fact, currently fitting good luck banners featuring England flags on all our buses in England."

Did she speak? was she drunk? was she incomprehensible?

She should do an ID parade.

They're hardly the BBC are they. people who witnessed it probably didn't feel they had to get in touch with the company just incase.

it would be funny if after she reads this the Daily Mail and her prove otherwise

Oh, come on, Gary - do you really think that someone wouldn't have wanted to make a bit of money from Mail by selling their story as back-up?

Funny? - bleeding miraculous, considering the Daily Mail's record for inaccuracy and rabble-rousing.

We'll make a start on that one. they have a driver that fits the description, but he has witnesses to say he wasn't anywhere in that area on that day.

can we have him say ""He won't be wearing that during the World Cup, will he?"

If it did happen would it be a race crime?

How much money? I might do one about that barmaid who ripped my shirt off in my house.

So, besides being far fetched, it didn't actually happen. I'll think there is some egg on some faces.
