But we have the Boris Bus, Boris Bike, and would-be

I've heard "Kengestion charge"

All that proves is that Boris is a bigger egomaniac than Ken was and
he was no shrinking violet.


Or that "Barclays cycle hire" is too much or a mouthful, and "New Bus
for (4?) London or is it New Routemaster?" is too confused.

And it's not new; speed limits are here to stay and the Pillbox Affair
is now pretty much forgotten, but the ghost of Baron Hore-Belisha still
lives on in the form of street furniture.
