Remember that being Buckley's Dairy years ago! (Showing my age!) Buckleys dairy was on the opposite side---i remember it----on the other corner of Brownlow Rd was a cafe---don't know what it is now, but i remember the cafe, mum would take us in there on the way home from school to buy ice lollies in the summer! Buckleys also had a shop in Bebington Rd years ago, and they had lovely ice scream, i have never tasted anything like it since! i think they made their own?

The word bus was originally an abreviation of the word omnibus but has now entered the dictionary as a word in its own right, so all buses are actually omnibuses.
An electric bus which collected its power from overhead wires was called a trolleybus.

Omnibus: from the Latin omnis, meaning all, with the dative ending, 'ibus' meaning to or for, so "for all". i.e. a public vehicle, not private.
Carpe diem.
