No, bad weather does not count, and wouldn't (quite) be true anyway. BBC and the Design Museum are asking the public to choose their favourite example of British design since 1900. So what do you think of when you think of "British design"? Red telephone booths, Doc Martens, the Mini, the Underground, or maybe the Concorde? How about the Word Wide Web? Or... Tomb Raider?? We put our vote in for the double decker Routemaster bus. London without double decker buses would be like a Canadian city without Tim Horton's (on every corner).

 

Speaking of Timmy's, is there a better example of Canadiana? The CN Tower? The hockey rink? Poutine? What's your vote??
