All,
This may seem like a bit of an odd question, but I've recently been in touch with a gentleman who owns a coach/bus firm. His firm own rather a lot of very high quality coaches and tour busses, the sort used by VIPs and rock bands. Some of them are double-decker bendy-busses, and they're all rather special. He's more than happy to release high-quality photographs of his busses and coaches, and his workshop, but needs someone to walk him through the licensing arrangements. Is there anyone here with the time and inclination to help?
I know this isn't quite a 'cultural partner' or 'UK' issue, but it falls into both categories a little bit, and I'm loathe to let this opportunity disappear!
All the best,
Richard Symonds

Walk him through how...? Online, in person, over the phone?

Don't forget to encourage him to think of uploading video. Short clips of bendy buses bending, particularly showing the internal connecting compartment in action as they concertina, would be cool on the related articles.
PS "busses" is not BritEng ;-)

All,
Many thanks for your support in this - a transport enthusiast (and GLAM volunteer) from Europe has kindly offered to do what he can to walk our donor through the process.

It is a verb and a noun - e.g. "The bus-boy busses the busty bus conductor on the lips." Bendy busses sound very... interesting.
On topic... ...uploading the items to Commons is something I can help with if they are mailed in a tar/rar/zip.

Thank heavens there aren't any buffalo involved.

Coincidentally, we are in Nashville at the moment (at the Grand Ole Opry) and the restaurant we ate at had busboys bussing tables and my wife asked me about their role.
How many uk cities now have bendy busses?
