"King George the third remarked with a smile:
Seventeen-sixty yards in a mile!"
as did a railway modeller:

Opinionated but sometimes wrong

Sorry, 1762 is another bus, but quite a special one. This is a restored and converted London double-decker, which functions around Dubai as a food truck and mobile restaurant (there are tables on the upper deck). And you know how its owners christened this bus? Monty (In honour of the Earl of Sandwich John Montague)   ;)

Not transportation-themed I admit, but a nod to our founding fathers Ultra and Otto Puzzell.

(At the moment the artist took this picture ( ;D) they were discussing the minor matter of the right to bear arms. Not that this would affect life in the USA in the future..............)
