The Joomla World Cup - England - The London Bus

Written by Brian Teeman
joomla world cup - england

As you hopefully know by now this series of blog posts aims to feature high profile Joomla web sites from a country that won a match in the FIFA World Cup.

There wasn't a game today so I've selected a web site from England, who did win once, but haven't featured yet.

Sadly the England team underperformed so I've selected this site with my tongue firmly in my cheek as it's not exactly as "high profile" as other sites that I've included.

There can't be a more iconic symbol of England than the London Bus.

Whenever a Hollywood movie wants to show that the scene is taking place in London you can guarantee that a London double-decker bus will be somewhere in the background.

Sadly, thanks to former London Lord Mayor Ken Livingston, the traditional London Bus has been disappearing from the capital's streets. It is now mainly to be seen as a tourist vehicle and not just in London but in most major tourist centres around the world.

London Bus Export Company are perhaps the world's leading supplier of these iconic vehicles for promotional and tourist services and have been in operation for over 40 years.

Their Joomla powered web site is simple but functional showcase of the customisation services that they can provide. Perhaps you have even seen one of their buses in a city near you?

About Brian Teeman

  • As a co-founder of Joomla! and OpenSourceMatters Inc I've never been known to be lacking an opinion or being too afraid to express it.

    Despite what some people might think I'm a shy and modest man who doesnt like to blow his own trumpet or boast about achievements.

    But it seems that no blog exists without an "About" page so rather than talk about what an amazingly great guy I am and list all the things I've achieved (and failed at) in life from my Cycling Proficiency Test in 1976 to winning an award for the "UK Individual Contribution to Open / Source" in 2005 here are some links.
