From the wikipedia website: A charabanc (pronounced sha-ra-bang) is a kind of open-topped bus common in Britain during the early part of the 20th century. It was especially popular for 'works outings' to the country or the seaside that businesses would hold once a year. The name derives from the French char à bancs ('carriage with wooden benches'), where it originated in the early 19th century
