    colour me angry?

    Tin of paint banned from bus

    A pensioner was thrown off a bus - for carrying a tin of paint.

    Brian Heale, 73, was told the cream emulsion broke new health and safety rules on the No9 bus in Cardiff.

    Brain was left stranded because he was not able to carry the tin home. He took shelter in a cafe where the owner gave him a lift.

    According to The Sun Brian said: "I thought he was joking. But he parked the bus and called head office.

    "Then he told me carrying the paint was against new health and safety regulations. It's crazy."

    Under the new rules paint is classed as a "hazardous article" and can only be carried on buses if it is in a bag.

    A spokesman for Cardiff Bus said: "We apologise to Mr Heale for the obvious inconvenience caused. Safety of passengers is our No1 priority which is why the company takes regulations very seriously."

    Hey you, don't tell me there's no hope at all -

    What is this world coming to!

    What difference does it make if its in a bag or not? The driver should just inspect it to make sure its sealed properly
