English B roads

Is there a reason why B roads start at 100 rather than 1? My only theory is none are long enough to number enough low numbers.

London bus stops

There are normal LT bus stops with 'head stop' and 'tail stop' on, and some even have the cheek to add 'driver information only'. What do these mysterious instructions tell the drivers?

Iraqi 2 tone cars

Every time we see Iraq, they have half the cars white with orange painted wings. This was in the last gulf war and many views before it. They have no signs on them, and appear to be taxis, but that's...

Why call it toner?

During a game of scrabble, someone put down 'toner'. I wasn't happy, and predictably it wasn't in the dictionary. My printer uses ink, as do all non laser or thermal printers. So what bright spark...

Radio station frequencies

Why do radio stations change their frequence every 50 or so miles? As it would obviously be easier to keep one for each station nationally, there must be a technical problem if they tried to do this.

Is there a system yet that lets you record more than one channel on cable when you're out, eg Sky 1 and another later on discovery? The theory seems simple but there is no literature in the retailers...

London phone numbers

By adding an eighth digit, the capacity for London numbers was increased by ten. But has anyone an estimate of how long it could be before a third extra starting number is used apart from the current...

is Back Passage a real road?

My father remembers a small road in Manchester in the 1930s called Back Passage, which isn't there now. Can anyone remember it, or have a pre war Manchester A to Z and can check?

mobile phones- 'i' means?

Originally, some Nokia mobiles had an i after the number, and I recently saw most other makes adding some. In a car the meaning is obvious, but on a mobile phone? None looked any different, and I...

One way flights

The new trick of advertising cheap single prices for flights means you are obliged to ask for the return price. I doubt many people don't come back, so the value of a 50p trip to Amsterdam is...

Rapper in Macdonalds ad.

Knowing McD's usually use famous people, I assume the rapper asking for more change in the new UK ad is someone anyone under 20 has heard of. Being over 40, I have never seen him before, and will be...

Davina McCall #2 Pop stars the rivals

As I didn't watch this programme, all I know is there was an earlier pop stars programme. But why was this 'the rivals?'.

Davina McCall #1 re loaded

Was there any other meaning to Davina's t shirt other than it being her 2nd pregnancy? Was she trying to advertise a play station game or the Matrix or was that a coincidence?

Star bars

I will add I read recently here that my favourite Star Bars were still available, but weeks later I am yet to find one. Can anyone confirm a sighting and location?
