You could have a "top N" of pubs called the Railway, and the Railway in Hebden Bridge would be Nth in the list

Not quite, but you’re close enough The answer is that nobody made a score in double figures: three batsmen (Rehan Ahmed, Lewis Hill and Peter Handscomb) made centuries, whilst the other eight got less than 10 each, with five ducks Leicestershire were 0/2, then 360/3, then lost their last seven...

No, but it is to do with the individual batsmen's scores

Bulky items sold at or below cost as key promo lines were the bane of my life when I ran logistics for Makro. Partly because of the sheer volume of the stuff making getting the Makro Mail stock into stores on time difficult, and partly because when the Germans (Metro AG) owned Makro they main...

No, they batted. (and were all out at the end of the innings)

Marmite is the nectar of the gods. And in my college and early days of working period it was my main source of vitamins :D

A major issue for a lot of supermarkets nowadays is that because of the inexorable rise in the use of promotions as a marketing tool, an increasing proportion of what they sell are things where the customer didn't specifically go to the shop for that product, rather they went for some stuff...

What was highly unusual - and possibly unique - about Leicestershire's first innings in the home county championship game against Derbyshire in July last year?

Phil Neal? He was at Liverpool throughout that time wasn't he?

How did the shunt work? Southbound was the ETHEL left on the back when the train went back up to Cowlairs?

It wasn't structured the same way back then though was it? I couldn't remember the timings so erred on the side of caution, but when I did the FW in the 1980s I think the shunting happened at Mossend

They were. (Logically they could only do one portion anyway, as thee were only three of them)

Any idea why though? Seems a bit random?

And once those workers were pensioners, they'd be in that position. What goes around comes around. I honestly think the simplest and most transparent system is easiest and cheapest to implement, and easiest to get people to understand and buy into

I just don't understand the relevance of earnings growth to pensions. All that needs to be done is to maintain buying power, it is nothing to do with income relative to those still in work

You'd also increase the overall length of the train, and as I understand that's a pretty tight constraint at Euston

The problem with that is that there isn't a cast iron guarantee of a one year lag, and more fundamentally why should pensions increase if prices haven't? If we were to suppose that the state pension was at an acceptable level in year one, why should pensioners get a real terms increase in year...

My partner's dad "celebrated" his 80th birthday by trying to get through the turnstiles at the Stadium of Light using his Covid pass

Yes, they're linked, but using the rate of increase as a fix for having got the level wrong in the first place is not the way to go about it
