I quite agree with that - various suggestions that 'bumbling Boris' act
likely surfaced as a defence mechanism when he went to Eton, because he
wasn't anything as posh nor aristocratic as many of his peers.

My comment above was really just in frustration that he gets away with
it so much, prompted by the numerable public statements he made saying
the bus would have an open platform giving the freedom to hop-on and
hop-off - well, the mark 2 version won't have that at all, and there are
plenty of mark 1 buses plying their trade that never have their rear
platforms open.

My main issue with the bus though is that it can get so hot.
