You wait for ages for a bus to come along and then a set get bought for you, well that is if you’re the Boris Johnson. 

The London Evening Standard report: 

Transport for London chief Sir Peter Hendy has claimed £175 on expenses in buying toy buses for Boris Johnson, it has emerged.

It is believed that he bought five £34.99 Corgi models of the Mayor’s new Routemaster bus and his expenses reveal that he claimed £800 on taxis between September 15 and December 31 last year.

The figures were released after a Freedom of Information Act request by MayorWatch, the independent body which examines mayoral spending.
