@ZhichengWang87 @Isaac2003_v2 It's how the (non-motorway) roads are numbered in the UK. Any road that starts in the '4' zone on the map will start with a 4, eg the A465 in South Wales.
The boundaries are generally the A1, A3, A5, A6, A9 etc (or their original routes about 100 years ago)

[Richard Bullock @rb357]

@ZhichengWang87 @Isaac2003_v2 In the original roads list, there was a B650 between South Mimms + Potters Bar, which is now part of the B556

[Richard Bullock @rb357]

@ZhichengWang87 @Isaac2003_v2 Not 6 though. It doesn't quite get all the way into London - I guess in theory as far as Chipping Barnet at the A1000 (ex-A1) and A1081 (ex-A6) junction, but the most southerly road beginning with a 6 is in St Albans.

@SteveJardine @emperorthesteve Squatting in residential property was made illegal in 2012.

@RealCounties Tweedmouth, Scremerston, Lindisfarne and a lot of the land around it used to be in County Durham. Strange but true.

@theiaincameron There's a question about whether it could be photographed the other way round though, i.e. from England itself. Ben Macdui & Cairn Toul will all be almost totally hidden by the Munros on the south side of the River Dee, apart from the smallest of slithers of their summits.

Is there no on-screen clock on the live-stream for the timed events? @enhanced_games #enhancedgames

[Richard Bullock @rb357]

Because it's not on-screen;
World standards for these 3 lifters;
Yoni Andica (79kg class): 166kg
Juan Solis (94kg class): 182kg
Dylan Cooper (110kg class): 196kg

@DaddyCoffee73 Pay yourself minimum wage for 40hrs, then time x 100 for overtime hours, tax free?

@VicariousVillan @JayMBurton @UtdMaI After h2h points, it goes to h2h away goals. Spurs would stay up as they beat West Ham 3-0 away in September. In the January fixture, West Ham beat spurs 2-1 away.
If they did have a tie after away goals, then there would have to be a relegation playoff fixture.

[Richard Bullock @rb357]

@UtdMaI The first tie-breaker is goal difference.
If Spurs draw, and West Ham win 12-0 or better (never happened in the Premier League), then West Ham stay up, Spurs relegated.
If Spurs draw, and West Ham win by anything up to 11 goals, Spurs stay up, West Ham relegated.

@DaleJohnsonBBC Accrington Stanley?

Who are they?😆

@smalltounboy @theiaincameron Apparently the longest theoretical sight line in the British Isles, is from Merrick in Dumfries & Galloway, to Snowdon, 144 miles/232km.
Ben Nevis has hilly terrain to the south that blocks most views of distant peaks. In theory Knocklayd in Co. Antrim is visible at 123mi/198km

@GBPolitcs Surely the one thing guaranteed to increase costs now is to change the specifications of a project whilst it's already well under construction?

@TouchlineX An Arsenal-v-Burnley draw would have been better for Man City though - as a Man City win vs Bournemouth would put Man City level on points and at least 2 ahead on GD & 8 ahead on GF, meaning if City win their final game 1-0, then Arsenal would have to win at least 4-0

[Richard Bullock @rb357]

@haveigotnews It was €12 in Bayeux.

[Richard Bullock @rb357]

@GrahamDee1968 @BBCSport Since both scores have happened before in the Premier League - then "almost certain" is exactly the right description. You can't say they are "certain" to stay up if there is a scoreline possible when they wouldn't!

[Richard Bullock @rb357]

@TheExiledRobin @ShaolinMunkeh @premierleague @WestHam @SpursOfficial It doesn't even need a 10-0. If West Ham win 7-0, then Spurs losing 6-0 would send them down instead of West Ham. Not likely, but scorelines like these happen at least once or twice a season on average.

[Richard Bullock @rb357]

@DibbsTux @premierleague @WestHam @SpursOfficial OK, but it's still technically possible for Tottenham to lose 7-0, and West Ham to win 6-0 in the final game, and then they'll be level on goal difference, with West Ham ahead on goals-for, therefore staying up. Only a win makes Tottenham mathematically safe before the final day

@AmIRightSir Makes sense after an election where so many seats changed hands: over 50% of sitting MPs have only served since 2024. Only 9.5% of current MPs pre-date the Con-LD coalition in 2010 and 28% were in parliament for the Brexit vote (compared to 22% & 67% respectively pre-election)
