I've just read a comment below a YouTube video showing Trump's increasingly deranged ravings at one of his rallies. In it, the writer describes his drooling audience as ''the gullibillies.'' :lol:
Yet he revealed in a Times newspaper magazine article a few years ago that his maternal grandfather had been a lorry driver, though he quickly changed the subject in the interview when his children's nanny came into the room!
Reverse charge calls from phone boxes used by impoverished teenagers
BRS (British Road Services) lorries, which dated from the nationalisation of both the railway industry and part of the road transport industry in 1948. I believe Pickfords Removals, which still exists, formed part of this...
My local Tesco had five card only and two cash/card self-checkouts, but in last couple of weeks has changed a card one to take cash as well. Conversely, at the same time RBS took away one of the two cash dispensers in the car park.

Take it you're not a fan of FoI! Although misuse, or over-use, may be rife we'd be much more ignorant without it. In any case, many bodies are extremely reluctant to provide information regardless of its potential importance.
All I can say at this stage is that I hope however it all pans out it doesn't lead to a special sub-section on this forum with dozens of separate threads. :smile:
It's exactly 100 years since the Bassom Scheme on London bus route numbering was introduced, named after the head honcho at the Metropolitan Police, and each shortworking on a route had to have a suffix letter attached. It became something of a hobby horse for this individual and continued into...
