They've gone—those great abominations—the overall painted advert on London's buses. They were cheap, nasty and an intrusion on the visual environment 'and I am glad they are to be no more and I'm sure many others in London agree. A spokesman at London Transport said that there were never more than 15 going about at any one time. They must have travelled in convoy, and laid in wait for me because I must have seen most of them every day.
Anyway, we are now getting back to sanity and moderation and since we attacked LT for introducing them we now say: " Thank you for scrapping them." celebrating their 80th birthday. It should be quite a day.
Provided we've any energy left the next day could find us at the Derby Borough Transport rally at Ascot Drive. There's all sorts happening there but I'm particularly attracted by two invitations. The first wants me to ride through the Bus wash— on a bicycle presumably. The second gives me the chance to fire an anti-tank gun. Now I wonder What or who they have in mind for targets !
