					<description>As I said in &quot;Back end of a bus - doubeldeckers&quot; these have long been a term of abuse for individuals.

Still I am unable to offer any solutions.</description>

					<description>Who said the back end of a bus was ..... well, not too attractive?

I've risen to the challenge offered by Bristols, but as you will see I draw no final conclusions on whether or not back sides are attractive.

Judge for yourself. But I'm not worried whether you eventually draw any conclusions.

Have fun!

And if your tastes are more cosmopolitan, why not got to http://mudlark.fotopic.net/ where you can see all shapes and sizes to suit the widest range of interests?
