This was our favourite 5 bus for fifty-one years. It was a design classic. Were Routemasters really dangerous? The back of the bus was an open platform with no doors. Perhaps this wasnt very safe but Londoners like to do their own thing. And the Routemasters were fast in the traffic. Modern buses are safe, but they are slow. Passengers hate the doors. Car drivers hate the buses. The bus drivers have a hard time. The first Routemasters were on our roads in 1954. The last official Routemaster journey was on Route Number 9, on 15th February 2006. That was some years ago. 20 Today, Londoners remember the Routemasters name. They remember the designers name: Douglas Scott. The new buses dont have a name. How can weUnit 13: The KalenjinTake a look at the records of international running events in the last fifty years. Before 1980, the winners of distance races were usually from75 North America and Europe. There were some winners from other countries, hut there werent very many of them. There were no African names among the winners then, but 10 things are very different now. Today, the stars of the race track are the Kalenjin. The Kalenjin are an African people from the borders of North West Kenya and Ethiopia. Their 15 homeland is a hot, dry plateau, about 2,500 metres above sea level. These people are natural athletes. They have long, thin legs. Their heart rate is unusually slow. There are only three 20 million of them.Twelve of the worlds top twenty marathon runners are now Kalenjin. Every year, they win 40 percent of the top honours in all international distance 25 races. And its not just the men. A few years ago, there werent any distance races for women. These days, there are lots of them. Kalenjin women win all their events as well.Unit 14: Chocolate heavenLUCY: Im going out, Mum. Please can I get some chocolate?
