Title: Reading and the three Bs
Post by: bobm on July 17, 2023, 14:10:54
Reading was famous in the past for its three Bs - Bulbs, Beer and Biscuits (Sutton Seeds, Simonds/Courage Brewery and Huntley & Palmers).

It seems it has a few more today

Additional Information
Dear customers of the Great Western Railway (GWR),

Please be advised that our Reading station team have advised there's currently a very large swarm of bees around the main South Entrance/Exit to Reading station (by the Three Guineas pub). This is thus causing a hazard to colleagues and customers alike. The station team have asked if customers and colleagues could try and use the North Entrance/Exit where possible (Trooper Potts Way) in order to try and avoid the swarm of bees. Local management teams are sourcing appropriate contacts to see what the best approach is to managing / dealing with this issue.

We apologise for any inconvenience caused to your journey with us today.

Bumblebees don't swarm! So either it's a gross exaggeration of a much smaller crowd, or a misidentification.

Wrong type of bees?
