I feel certain that somewhere I have already said that nothing about you surprises me (whilst making mental note to take extra care driving in the Midlands).

The UK stop sign - relatively new. It was different when I started driving in 1965. The UK 'Give Way' sign. Again there has been a change in my motoring/cycling lifetime: This is what they used to look like: Others in this line (which might help answer query on the Ireland...

No, we have both 'Give Way' and 'Stop' signs, the latter necessitating a complete stop. One thing we do not have is the 'Four Way Stop' system.

In closing down for the night I cannot resist thanking you for these kind words but must point out that to us they are in my defence, not in my defense.

Come on guys. I thought I was the pedantic one! I omitted the boot (UK) = trunk (US) one because that was on the original Pearl list. Car (UK) = Automobile (US) - their use in such as car (UK) or auto (US) mechanic et al was precisely the context in which I included the difference. To us it is...

There seem to be so many differences associated with road transport: Car (UK): Automobile (US) Bonnet: Hood Wing:Fender In UK in fact, fender has no connection with vehicles but is either a fireplace implement or a boating bumper. Pavement: Sidewalk Road: Pavement Accelerator: Throttle

All apropos of nothing at all, my Christmas Cactus has decided to become an Easter Cactus. Very appropriate. The blessings of Easter to all!

Just sampled some dark chocolates filled with a chili and 'cool' coconut grenache. Remain not keen on the chili with chocolate.

You do not make clear if St Pancras is your ultimate destination or if, like Barmpot you are making a through London journey. That might explain the difference.

How times have changed! I had completely forgotten about Thameslink and that it is no longer essential to use the Tube to cross London north to south.

And I just love coffee creams chocolate but then everyone is aware that I can do disgusting! I am sure some cheese could be unearthed which goes well with chocolate. Must work on that one. One combination of which I do not approve is chocolate with chilli. And, returning to the original...

Great!!! Many thanks!!! Just seen the new 'Latest Posts (24) hours' button. :respect::respect::respect::respect::respect::respect:

Many thanks for your help. I can find no difference between 'What's New' and 'New Posts' buttons. I get the same threads up from each. And something does not seem quite right. Maybe should explain how I operate. From coming on-line first thing in the morning I never shut down this website. And...

Intrigued by reference to St Pancras or Kings Cross. Are you meaning that from where you live you have services to both St Pancras and Kings Cross or are you referring to the joint underground station?

The BBC never really claimed 32 series. In my last I stated: I can no longer find a very useful website by BBC Worldwide marketing which showed what was available for overseas broadcasters to purchase but that designated what we know as Series#9 as Series 9 & 10. It also missed out many...

Could it be something that has been done as a software update outwith your control. I note that at the moment all four postings on 'What's New' were generated today. I am sure there was a time when they went back about 24 hours. I have found a way around this for my purposes. On the Forum Home...

In the sadly, so large, theatre of really tacky commercials (into which virtually all moneysupermarket.com commercials fit) this must come close to being the very worst.

Is it me or has the duration for which a new posting will remain in the 'What's New' facility (or the 'New Posts' link) been significantly reduced recently? I thought a recently augmented forum resided there for around 24 hours but now it looks like it has been brought down to about twelve.

They Exist everywhere... Some guy bought a new fridge for his house. To get rid of his old fridge, he put it in his front yard and hung a Sign on it saying: 'Free to good home. You want it, you take it.' For three days the fridge sat there without anyone looking twice. He eventually decided...

This was always a real bête noire for me! Most of what has been written on this thread is correct but I am not sure it is comprehensive. One point must be made absolutely clear! This was not a mistake by those who brought out the so-called Series 9 & 10 DVD. It was malice aforethought...
