Who were all reporting to Vince Cable, the Trade Minister, Two of those four went on to receive knighthoods, incidentally. I don't think it's over cynical to suggest the Tory high command were using the desperate desire of Nick Clegg, in particular, to share the reins of power at any price, so...

Untrue - cash use in retailers formed 19% of sales last year, up from 15% the year before.

Any fire involving a bus in service is definitely more worrying.

In the case of Williams and Hammond, the eyes are totally different imo.

Judging by the You Tube stuff Google decided I should have the chance to view last night:rolleyes:, two scraping-the-bottom-of-the-barrel TV stations in this country are already pushing this line, so about thirty people may have lapped it up.

But never since! :smile:

You probably saw one of Reigate's staff buses taking staff home from both Aldenham and Chiswick, on the same bus, and calling at Redhill and Woodhatch on its way back to Reigate garage. GSs started being used here in 1963, the first being GS26 which was replaced by GS62 in 1967 before being...

The Grand old Duke of York will never be questioned by the police here anymore than William Clinton will be in the States. Interesting that Branson is on the list: I've often wondered what he did with all that time in the Caribbean. He's an avowed hedonist, after all.

He's opened in a couple of T20s for Australia, but never in first class cricket, Apparently none of the current crop of batsmen wanted the job, so he volunteered. Full marks to him, I say, for that.

Does anyone miss Paris's pissoirs? I used to reckon their aroma was one of the main reasons that so many Gauloises were smoked in an attempt to avoid it.

:D

B. Johnson used a possible extension to Crystal Palace in his manifesto on two occasions, so there's 'form' on this which any sensible person would best ignore.

Just like to add to the first link there. TB (Bromley) ran an RF night staff bus in the 1960s and early 1970s and, contrary to the recollections from other London staff, this most certainly used roads not scheduled for bus use, though only 'main' ones. I seem to remember a regular driver, who...

It's become almost impossible for Jo or Joe Soap to bring a private prosecution in England or Wales. On the rare occasion when it looks likely to go ahead the DPP tends to take it over, regardless of whether that was desired by the aggrieved party. Regarding the oversight question, you can add...

Natalie Elphicke was the only candidate the Tories proposed to replace her (still) then husband Charlie on the ballot paper in 2019, and only announced her separation from him after his conviction in July 2020. In November that year she became involved in his appeal against his conviction, to...

No, but incredibly coincidentally I had a dream last night which featured a meeting of supposed doppelgangers en masse, but with me as the odd man out so to speak. I don't think I've ever had such a dream before, but I'm not averse to eating cheese late in the evening sometimes! More pertinent...

From Chew Tabac to Chew Magna?

Quite easily I'd say, I could probably do it. :smile:

Presumably based on the ultra-successful example provided by Theresa May in 2017? ;) Actually, all joking aside, I think that's quite possible. To hold one after the local election results, which will surely be at the very least poor for the Tories, would only present an open goal for Labour to...

Also, for only the second time in Test history a debutant batsman has got out twice on their first day. In this case it was the South African batsman Tristan Stubbs, in the other case it was fellow countryman Harry Butt in 1896 at Port Elizabeth against England. Are they the Benson and Hedges...
