The UK isn't a signatory to the convention. Another bit of withdrawn no deal brexit web information: https://www.gov.uk/government/publications/road-haulage-and-driving-in-the-eu-post-brexit/ratifying-the-1968-vienna-convention I assume that, unless expressly agreed to the contrary, every...

Will you be allowed to change yours? (I assume so.) And is there any reason you would choose to do so? I can't help thinking that using that panel for country of registration was quite a good idea. It might have made sense for a pan-Europe agreement to recognise that instead of needing GB...

The following advice was on the UK government site for a no deal brexit - but is now withdrawn. And not yet replaced. Where is the RoI legislation which says that UK vehicles need GB plates in RoI? The UK government seems convinced that is not the case. The page redirects to a sort-of update...

EU plates will no longer be legal. We will need to use classic GB plates. I think use of EU plates reduced considerably over the past few years - not sure when it started. 2016? There are quite a lot which use the space for another purpose such as a CYM ID. Added: Not legal in the sense of...

Don't worry, no-one will notice: https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/aug/14/government-quietly-drops-13m-covid-tests-from-england-tally

I passed my maths O-level and A-level. :) I can count! ONE TWO THREE Even if I were convinced beyond doubt, I'd hesitate to eat a sandwich or banana (from those places) right now.

Just been treated to the most incredible lightning display I have ever seen. Almost no noise whatsoever. A large anvil-like cloud. And lightning going on and on and on. I think about half an hour but wasn't really taking any notice of clock time. Neighbours up and down the street out and...

An app is vital. The app is wonderful. Oh dear, the app doesn't work. The app isn't important. We might never have one but it won't make any difference. The Isle of Wight was a bad place to test. Ah! New version. We'll test it on the Isle of Wight then it will be wonderful for everyone and will...

Not sure it was anything but desperation!

The tories are in a right mess in Scotland. Delaying ennoblement to allow them to even have a leader? https://www.theguardian.com/politics/2020/aug/11/scottish-conservatives-appoint-ruth-davidson-as-holyrood-leader

Of course, they have Covid-19 under control. Well, maybe not... https://www.theguardian.com/world/2020/aug/11/rise-in-uk-covid-cases-above-1000-a-day-breached-government-target

Which is only any use if you take a charger with you! I believe most bikes have separate chargers and do not plug directly into mains. And a multi-socket device in case the one socket is already in use. (Unless the words mean that there will only be the possibility of storing one bike in each...

Bad enough being here and some other places, but glad I never went onto Twitter:

Remind me what Churchill said about crossing the channel small boats ... - Words which could be re-interpreted in our current situation. Our apparent current deliverance, though not obvious to those in Aberdeen, Preston, etc., is not a victory.

At the time, yes, I enjoyed them. But wouldn't appreciate watching or listening to them and their likes now.

Meanwhile, in the double entendre section of the BBC news site:

Arithmetic is not a strength of this government: That could, just about, be 8,000 over the four years (ignoring the time it takes to complete the apprenticeships). Then subtract the ones who retire, resign, are sacked, die or otherwise leave the profession in the same time window. (Old data...

Think I am stuck in history as well - I really appreciated some S/F films like Dark Star and the weirdly serious spoof Tremors.

I don't think so! You'd not look that well towards three years after you died. Christine Margaret Keeler (22 February 1942 – 4 December 2017) was an English model and showgirl.
