What's an RF bus?

AEC Regal IV, in various forms as used by London Transport.

For some years the standard single-decker both in central and country areas,
taking over from such buses as the T and Q.

What is a T and what the hell is a Q??

A "T" is an AEC Regal I, II or III, with half-cabs and a forward engine. (No
connection with modern "T"s which are Leyland Titans of the modern
persuasion. The old ones were STDs)

A"Q" is an AEC Q, with a side engine.

I tell you what, I'll agree to avoid committing the crime of not
knowing what a bus from the 50s is if you agree to avoid
committing the crime of being a ****.

Only a **** would fail to log on to Google, type in "rf bus"
(complete with the inverted commas to create linked search terms)
and see what it threw up before asking a fatuous question in a
newsgroup,

The information you get on a google search isn't always relevant to
what you were searching for. For example, this google search didn't
seem to turn up any links related to you:

To coin a phrase:

"Only a **** would fail to log on to Google, type in "T bus" and "Q bus" (complete with the
inverted commas to create linked search terms) and see what it threw up before
asking a fatuous question in a newsgroup."

And what makes you think that I wasn't sarcastically making that point in my

Ah, but do remember an earlier message which said "Everyone's interest has to
begin somewhere". My post about Ts and Qs seems to have smoked out a few
hypocrites who are eager to criticise people who object to this group being
used to pose fatuous questions whilst being quite prepared to do it themselves.
I suggest some of you adopt a consistent stance on this issue, or else do your
trolling somewhere else.
