I noted this paragraph in the piece in the Standard:

A mock-up of the "New bus for London" - which the Mayor's aides are
happy to have nicknamed the "Boris bus" - was unveiled in the capital.

So that's alongside 'Boris bikes' too.

Although Boris Bike is perhaps less painful than referring to them by
the official sponsor's name.

Other than people like us, how many people these days know that
[Hore-]Belisha of beacon fame was a politician?

Asking a question like that in this newsgroup is fruitless since it

I thought it would be a nice thought, in certain selected areas to
substitute the flashing amber for red and they could be called
Hore beacons
