I see this becoming one of those quirky "national things" that foreign tourists will comment on:
"And in England they had all these really cut old trains – "
"That was in Scotland."
"It was England, dear."
"North of Birmingham, England is called Scotland. Everyone knows that!"
"I thought that was Yorkshire? Well anyway, they had all these old trains – or were they buses? – made into wonderful buildings."
"Trains, definitely."
"I think some of them were buses."
"But in England all the buses have two floors. And outside staircases. So cute!"
"Well anyway, in Mancaster – that's the capital of Yorkshire – they had this really sweet little building made of old trains. Or buses. Really, you can't tell the difference between a bus and a train over there!"
"It was so cute. I think one of the princesses lives there. Prince Garry."
