I posted that one last week.

 

I missed it then too.

I suspect a glitch in the Matrix!

If I'm watching something foreign on the telly I often turn the sound up so I can read the subtitles better.

The latest annoying thing in Birmingham is these high powered electric bikes, now the favourite transport of the food delivery idiots.

No numberplate and presumably no tax or insurance and as quick as a small petrol motorbike.

I wonder whether they are even legally allowable on public thoroughfares in the UK?

 

 

 

 

Even the ones on scooters, mopeds and motorbikes are usually breaking the law as they have L Plates.

 

It's illegal to deliver on a provisional licence, you need a full licence and insurance.

But can you still make a 999 call from it?

 

 

Hello?

Yes, ambulance please.

I have been very severely nettled.

the local clergyman who wrote it down ... villages.  These had little or no road connections between them and travel was by sea,

 

This is consistent with what happened in many parts of Highland Scotland, especially the west coast islands. The clergymen (wot cood reed n rite proper) were mostly Lowland Scots who knew not the Gaelic.  Many words were transliterated into what the clergymen thought they were hearing in English. Since then, academic careers have been made on trying to understand the meaning of the words, but that often produces nonsense. Because the literal meaning of the English components is literally nothing like what it meant in Gaelic.

May I re-post this on a Facebook US payphone group that I belong to? TIA

 

Sure. I nicked it off a Facebook UK payphone group anyway :)
