I ask this question, because I want to see this issue from different prespective. I believe that I've said that I was, at one point, but I want you to tell me your honest truths, and why.

I don't know. You seem to be happy, but if I were in your shoes, I would feel sad every time I looked at a Routemaster. I hope that you are stronger than me.

Hard to say; it doesn't seem like you're fully over it, but you are getting there. In time, you should be able to have memories about the Routemaster without feeling severe pain over the loss. You know what they say about the five stages: denial, anger, bargaining, depression, and acceptance. For now, you seem to be reaching the acceptance stage.

If one were over the Routemaster, then one would have not mentioned it in the last 3 months, nor would one have an avatar of one.

what would you do if I told you that I saw some recent footage of those red buses driving around London?

I'd be smiling, and I might cry a few tears of joy. :wink:

I thank you for being honest, and I look forward to some more honest answers.

I've voted, No because I'm very honest with myself.

I don't think so. If you were, you wouldn't be thinking about them, posting about them or buying them all the time. You also might put the models you already have into a cupboard or something as a memento. :)

I don't think you are over it, I don't think it's a bad thing either.

Even I'm peeved that they're gone and I don't live in London or have an obsession with Routemasters. They're an icon.

Ultimately, only you can tell. All we can see are external signs.

Now, that was a pretty stupid question of me to ask. Of course I'm not. :roll:
