OMNIBUS ~ NO FUSS ! An Acrostic

BRIAN & ANGELA

 

ICONIC RED LONDON DOUBLE DECKER ! 

 

OMNIBI  are very tall ~ room for ALL

Mainly driven by Hairy Men ~ called LEN

Now and then your Pilot's a LADY

In our School Bus ~ it was Auntie SADIE !

BUSES are great ~ and never LATE

UNDERGROUND is London's Pride ~ but all INSIDE

See your favorite CITY ~ by Bus ~ so PRETTY !

 

Thanks for visiting ~ comments welcome ~ BRIAN XOX

 

BUSES are still a very important in the UK

They are free for SENIORS (60+) so all the

Buses are full of Seniors with their shopping

trollies ~ sailing happy into town to Window

Shop and enjoy a "Scone & Latte" at COSTA !

Do you travel by BUS ?  Only 50% of UK adults

own a car ~ so a reliable BUS SERVICE essential !

    My wife and I travel all over London by bus. We both have a car but who wants to drive in London and see nothing. As you say the bus is free to us oldies and you see so much - busy streets , architecture, London sights. The underground is okay but nowhere near such fun as being perched upstairs on a London omnibus.

    We wouldn't visit Costa by the way - we want to be served by a waitress and given the choice of coffee bean (not adulterated with foreign flavours or frothy milk) and served in a proper cafetiere.

      Thanks MIKE ~ I always try to ride the Bus when i visit the Smoke ! I recently went to the Wedding of Andrew Lloyd Webber's Children's Nanny. Between the Wedding venue and the Reception we went on a decorated London Double Decker ~ The Webber Kids had never been upstairs on a BUS and were so so excited ! There's always a FIRST TIME ! Yours BRIAN

      Mio Caro Amico BRIAN,
      One day I would love to ride on the Red Omnibus...in London! I enjoyed reading your acrostic! Now I’m yearning for a London trip! Grazie!
      Un Abbraccio e Baci...
      ~Laura~

      • BRIAN & ANGELA

        GRAZIE LAURA ~ CARA AMICA MIA ! Some day your BUS will come ! Pleased you enjoyed the Acrostic ~ Double Decker buses are so so sexy and the views you get ~ from the top deck ~ are awesome ! The tourist Buses have no roofs on the top deck ~ so (if it isn't raining !) the view is unrestricted. It's one of the 500 things you must do when you visit the capital of the WORLD ~ LONDON ~ Baci e Abbracci ~ BRIAN ~ Presidedte della Londra !

          WELL LORNA ~ In London we do like to paint the town RED !

          Along the Queen\\\'s great highway
          I drive my merry load
          At 20 miles per hour
          in the middle of the road
          We like to drive in convoys
          we\\\'re most gregarious
          The big 6 wheeler ~ scarlet painted
          London Transport Diesel engined
          97 horsepower ~ OMNIBUS !

          Thanks for the reminder ~ Wonderful Song
          Wonderful Singers I have recited it ~ a tricky
          meter ! A Busman's Hug ~ BRIAN @@@

        • orchidee

          Good write Brian. Shouldn't that be 65+ for free travel? You gone to Waterloo today?!

          • BRIAN & ANGELA

            Thanks STEVE ~ I'm much too young to have one ~ so now I'll have to wait 30 years ~ It seems to me that a retirement pension ~ free prescriptions and A BUS PASS and being in a Retirement Home where the YIN outnumber the YANG by 20:1 (when it's 30 years too late !) are the only perks of being a SENIOR ! No I'm at MURRAYFIELD EDINBURGH TODAY (with my LAPTOP !) for the Rugger ! Yours BRIAN !

              No Orchi, it is 60, I got mine when I was sixty, renewed it when I was sixty five and used it for the first time a few weeks ago when I went to Oxford, I am now in my seventieth year.

              I don't drive...live on buses lol great wee read

              • BRIAN & ANGELA

                Och aye JOOLES ~ The buses are a Godsend ~ if you live out of town and no have a motor ! Thanks pleased you enjoyed it ! The beauty of a Bus over a Bike is you can carry an CASE or several bags of shopping ~ and even a pram ~ on a BUS ! Omnibus HUGS ~ BRIAN @@@

              • Goldfinch60

                Good write Brian, see my answer to Orchi.

                These buses are fun. There are a lot of double-deckers in Waikiki. Never had the pleasure of riding one though.

              • BRIAN & ANGELA

                Thanks FRED ~ I know Hawaii has everything ! Saves the cost of a trip to The Capital of the World ! Yours Brian !

              • Christina8

                Oh I'm imagining coming to London and seeing the sights by a "double decker" as we call them. Someday!! Sisterly hugs--Christina
