Fell Asleep On The Bus Again?

BBC NEWS | England | London | Red bus revamp for green livingNews that a London-based company, Double Decker Living, is converting a number of ex-London buses into mobile cheap housing.

The first stage is to be launched next week, using Leyland Olympian double deckers. But there's talk of using up the old Routemaster buses, the iconic hop-on, hop-off red London bus, which are being phased out at the end of this week.

Fascinating reading, the whole idea of converting a bus into accomodation being something I've always thought would be a cheap alternative to paying £200,000 for a house round here. Problem would be driving it on site, the carpark clearance being a little under the 14 feet or so that a Routemaster stands at ;-)
