Re: Great British websites
OK here's a good one.
http://www.countrybus.org.uk/
Was reminded of this site by the excellent YouTube film of London buses in 1950 posted on another thread.
You get a sense of the wonderful English pedantry of this site by this note;
"Prepared in Notepad..Best on Mozilla Firefox, screen size 800*600."
(Each of the coloured boxes to the left of the picture of the bus, is a link to a detailed page about the different LT bus types..)

"RLH48 and its helpful, friendly crew" - they could have substituted some miserable bastards for greater authenticity....

Re: Great British websites
Now how's this for a British website... a blog about queuing! (Especially given all the rants about the Germans' lack of queueing skills on another thread just now).

This blog's gone a bit tits up of late, but there's plenty of queuey goodness in the archive.
