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.
