Do you agree with me that we're far too hidebound and self-conscious in this country? For instance, would we get really way-out vehicles built for use at ad industrial fair? Chorus: "No!".
The Indians have. Visitors to the Indian International Trade and Industries Fair in Madras (open until February 17) can tour the grounds in two very unusual Leyland buses, ordered for the purpose on Comet chassis by Madras State Transport.
One is an open-top double-decker seating 66—the sort of thing we might run to in the circumstances—but the other is a singledecker with bodywork shaped like a picturesque Kashmiri houseboat, holding 50 people.
Don't ask me what a Kashmiri houseboat looks like, but it sounds good.
