Buses. What’s all that about? I mean, I get spending squillions on superfast broadband so we can download our pirate movies in double quick time and order pizza for 10, but I don’t get the buses bit.

Apparently that Saj geezer who looks after the nation's coffers, now the other long streak of misery got the heave-ho, wants to spend several hundred million squid on tarting up our buses.
