Surfing around the web is fascinating .... I just wanted to check on the population of Accrington; so, I went to the Wikipedia entry, and, glancing thro' I noticed a comment that the old Accy Corporation Transport buses were painted in the Regimental colors of the Pals, and that the mudguards were painted black as a tribute to those who fell ... all the times that I road those lurching old Leylands and I never realized this.
