First time posting on this forum after lurking for quite some time - I've always been too busy to get involved in the past but circumstances have changed so think I can wade in now...I don't know who drove the bus, but I guess you are referring to a photo of said event that was displayed inside the pub. I frequented the Regent often back in the 80s and 90s to see the many bands that appeared there. I remember that photo well. Indeed I have many happy memories of the place and the odd anecdote that I might bore everyone with some time.Regent regulars might also remember the legend over the fireplace:"G.D.T.E.P.M.H."I can remember what it means; anyone else?Oh, and apologies for hi-jacking the thread...if anyone does know the story of the crashed bus, I would love to hear it.

That's it! I've a photo of the photo but haven't managed to up-dump it yet.

I have no idea about G.D.T.E.P.M.H but I was reading some old Tyke Taverners online at the weekend and saw this... ...

Might the fact that "Brother Eamon" was once the landlord of the Regent have some bearing on the matter?( "Come along, ladies and gentlemen, make a superhuman effort". )

Brother Eamon was indeed the landlord at the Regent before moving to the Abbey, which he has also turned into a G.D.T.E.P.M.H! In fact, Eamon runs such a G.D.T.E.P.M.H that I know of a bloke who actually moved house from London to Bradford just so that he could drink there!
