A bus company has replied to a TV presenter and author’s request for a bus to be named after him.
It comes after a re-run of an old episode of Pointless showed Richard Osman, who is from Cuckfield, saying he would like a Brighton and Hove bus named after him.
A spokesman from Brighton and Hove Buses replied to the request on Twitter, and invited Osman to pay them a visit.
Dear @richardosman, we just caught this on @BBCOne re-run. Sorry we missed you before!

You’re officially invited to come and see us in Brighton, and we might be tempted to name a bus after you 😉
