Alternative names lack that certain Buzz


ARE you are still unconvinced with the catchy name of the latest low-cost carrier Buzz?



If the answer is yes, then Backchat can reveal it all could have been much worse.



The clever marketing team at Buzz has unwittingly let slip a motley selection of names that were up for consideration.



They were: High; Taxi; Zing; and; wait for it, Red Bus.



A quick straw poll in the Backchat office thought High was OK, Taxi was sort of okay, Zing was definitely not okay and the least said about Red Bus the better.



Naturally they would have been spelt out in trendy lower case letters, so would have looked fab and had great appeal to whacky Euro travellers. But us old traditionalists still think they plumped for the best of a bad bunch.
