Ok, so as the title suggests, I'm just having a chat with Chloe about the London buses. Yeah, you heard, it's 2am and we're talking about buses.
I was just discussing whether or not she should get the 271 or the 43, then weighing up the pros and cons of each route. After discussing the way it goes, I came to the conclusion that I prefer the 271 because of the way the woman's voice sounds on it.
271 to Highgate Village sounds much nicer than 43 to Friern Barnet. Especially with the bus lady saying it.
So I came to the conclusion that it's mainly the way the voice sounds that determines if I like the bus or not. The actual destination/route of the bus comes a very close second though. In accordance to these conclusions, I confidently stand by the fact that 38 to Clapton Pond/38 to Victoria is my all time favourite bus. The woman's voice pauses cheekily before and after the word 'to' in a way that asserts her authority. I mean, if anyone messes with her, she could just pull out a "The destination of this bus has changed. Please listen for further details" on you. RESPECT THE BUS LADY.
Moving on, the 38 has the perfect route as well. Ok, so I don't actually use it very much heading towards Clapton Pond, but it stops 2 minutes away from my house and takes me to a magnitude of different places. 1, Islington Green - very useful when I'm running late to/from Starbucks. 2, Angel/Goswell Road - once more, very useful when I'm running late, or just when I'm feeling lazy. Good for meeting people and going to college 3, Holborn - a useful bus stop to get home if I'm walking around there and cba to walk any more 4, Cambridge Circus - good for going down Oxford St or Covent Garden, right at the bottom of Denmark Street in case I want to buy guitar things 5, Chinatown/Trocadero - good for Beff times 6, Piccadilly Circus - very useful place to get to in general 7, Hyde Park Corner - the amount of Hyde Park jams that go on, this is very useful. 8, Victoria - granted, I won't be getting coaches any time soon, but it was useful for when I did.
Therefore, the 38 is perfect.
38 to Clapton Pond...
