Of course, this is an issue with the world, the only form of success must be sitting in an office 9-5 everyday. What about the guy who has 12m subscribers, has his own £3m house and a very successful career, but all he does is play games and records his life. Is he 'unemployable', still prepared to make a sarcastic comment about his parents being proud?

I'm not saying anything about people who play games like KSI. Good luck to them. I simply don't like people who only make money by doing stupid stunts, inconveniencing the general public and filming themselves. Hardly a worthwhile contribution to society is it? And also, most people don't only think in terms of money and property. I'm actually the owner of more than one business and pay myself a more than decent salary - i wouldn't sit in an office if you gave me a £3 million house (which I wouldn't really want anyway - I'm not that pretentious and materialistic and own properties in the area where I grew up in Birmingham). I stand by what i said about them being unemployable - i wouldn't employ those infantile twerps if you paid me.

BBC site says "A similar crash happened near the same spot six years ago in which 17 people were also taken to hospital when an Oxford Tube bus overturned". Coincidence or what?

The bus in the Oxford crash was a Oxford Bus Company Airline Elite Interdeck.

From views of it being towed away on TV news it appears to be vehicle number 64.

A little more local; van overturns into a ditch after a collision with an X1 around Allesley. Am I right in saying that all 15 plate MMCs have been transferred out to AG/PN garages? And so that must mean that the bus involved is a 68** MMC? No photos of the bus, so I can't see the true extent of the damage - if any at all.

Hope the driver of the van is alright; he managed to get out, thankfully, but the van seems to be in a bit of a sticky situation. :s

The bus (6826) was coming from Coventry so was going around the roundabout to make the left turn into Allesley Village

All I can say is that guy is one lucky guy getting out of that without any serious injuries but his van a not so lucky it is a write off

Interesting that "A National Express Coventry spokesperson" is dealing with the situation considering it is a Birmingham Central vehicle.

As for the bus, according to a facebook post to Coventry Telegraph: "No obvious damage to it, but as we were driving past, I could only see the drivers side"
