Another bus blip

A bit of an emergency blip today. Hopped on a bus at lunchtime to go to pick up my niece's Xmas pressie ... Fisher Price goodies that auntie might enjoy also ;) It has been chucking it down for most of the day - and London has got off lightly compared to some parts of the UK - and the rain was pretty torrential around that time. This shot was taken out of the front window of the bus.

Why is it that even as an adult there is still a slight thrill at sitting at in the front seat atop a double-decker bus? Or is it just me?
