@RichardIIIGhost I went to school in Clapham Junction in the early seventies and vividly remember seeing Young’s drays clopping through the morning traffic. What happened to the horses when Mr John died?
@bull_robin56713 Many years ago The Economist, a weekly newspaper, said that one of the biggest problems facing Western democracies was how to make good police officers out of the kind of people who want to be police officers.

@LahavHarkov Because it’s a film set put together by film people who wouldn’t know an antiquarian book from a pipe cleaner. The stock on the shelves in that shop in that movie would bankrupt the shopkeeper in a month.
@Victoria59L During my time in road transport in the UK I encountered several functionally illiterate professional drivers, including a Class One who had worked as a trucker in USA for several years. He was very grateful when I wrote an accident report for him!

@suespensley I used to get 15p a day LVs. We would save them up and go out for a posh meal every six months or so. I still remember the look on a waiter’s face as he counted them.
