This week I had the job of starting a bus - or rather getting a mighty man to start pulling the Bus near Birmingham's famous Bull Ring Markets. The occasion was the record 1,000th bus pull performed by Birmingham strongman Dave Gauder in aid of Macmillan Cancer Support.
Dave, a former World’s Strongest Man, and currently the holder of over twenty world strength records, also does mighty deeds for charity - as well as a tremendous amount of work with schools, particularly in preventing bullying. So it was a privilege to be asked to signal the start of the pull.
All went well, for the record 1,000th time and the Lady Mayoress had a bus ride too as Dave had invited several passengers to go along inside the bus just to add some more to the weight! Dave is a terrific chap and a great Brummie. So (even) more power to your elbow mate!
