There's quite a good Wikipedia article on pub names and where many of them actually come from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pub_names

Much safer to take one that's already been discarded due to holes - just make sure the holes aren't in the bit that's over the end of the nozzle...

Simple enough that you can use it without looking at it? (even if you can, I suspect a large proportion of drivers can't...)

My Astra has that, and does know which tyre - except when they were last changed they got them all mixed up...

And I'll repeat what I said last time - What did the poor thing do to deserve that? You can see how distressed he is. There's absolutely no need to bathe a cat unless they're too old to be able to do it themselves, or they've managed to get something nasty on their fur (oil, paint etc) Just a brushing to help him with the loose fur would have been much better. https://www.cats.org.uk/cats-blog/should-i-bathe-my-cat

This might be a "depends on the company" one, but I'd have thought it could be locked such that a shunt signal could be cleared into the platform - that only allows the driver to proceed as far as the line is clear, which would be to the toe of the points.

Except they're not. Plenty of articles out there about how poor the Tesla build quality is compared with other cars of a similar price range. I remember a few years ago they were showing off one in our local shopping centre, so I wandered over to have a look - the panel gaps were worse than anything BL ever managed! Plus as has been mentioned earlier, having all the controls on a single touchscreen is not in any way safe - goodness knows how they managed to get that through type approval.

My point exactly - I'm just under 40 now, and grew up with CIGs and VEPs on the central division in the 90s/early 2000s, but for anyone in much of the rest of the country they'd already gone by then - plus I'm from a railway family and so would have used the trains a lot more as a kid than most people my age. Last VEP was withdrawn in 2005 - there were two CIGs lasted to 2010, but they were confined to the Lymington branch.

That doesn't always work though - you can easily end up in "Think of the children" situations (especially when the more excitable media get involved) - just look at the various attempts on a regular basis to regulate the internet - It's easy for a paper or politician to say "let's ban the kind of encryption the bad guys are using", but you first need to listen to the experts when they point out that what's being demanded is impossible... Exactly - the last slam-door stock in regular mainline use was withdrawn 20 years ago - a very large proportion of the population will never have come across them...

I fitted a dashcam after one of my wife's colleagues got caught up by a 'cash for crash' scam - they didn't have one, so had no evidence to dispute the lies told by the scammer... Getting back to driving standards - I had three of those yesterday, tailgating me through 30 or 40 limits (in which I was driving at the posted limit) - all younger people in small hatchbacks...

Required reading anywhere on the railway in my opinion - and was on the reading list I was given before starting training as a signalman. First thing the district inspector said when he handed me my rulebook (the current one, not the 1933 edition! ) was "just remember, every rule in that book was written in blood"

As @John Besley says, rule 55 - which runs to 10 pages in my 1933 SR rule book - including variations for all four companies...

Still the case with many European languages...

She looks just like our Benji!

Apparently the actor Daniel Radcliffe wore the same black Leather jacket every time he went out for six months, just to frustrate the paparazzi...
