Actually, it is the man in the middle that I keep looking back at; he reminds me very much of an acoustic disc recording artist from the mid-twenties on. William Hartley is his name so it is not the one that I thought of.

Depends if you believe in reincarnation or not… Keith has been know to take other forms. I have to say he’s looking rather good considering he hasn’t used things like Botox… unlike his brother Cliff 😀 11 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Only guessing, but I'd think that (e.g.) all BMW cars probably carry a German code, even the ones made in South Africa or the USA. Offshoring has an effect, too; Hornby boxes carry barcodes beginning 501 because it's a UK company, whilst the contents are actually made in China.

In addition, a company will buy X number of barcodes and be given a prefix for those barcodes. When they run out they buy another Y number of barcodes with its own prefix. 2 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Same as for ISBN, they are supposed to be for a particular title/edition, but smaller publishers have been known to 'reuse' some of their block of numbers (often were I believe sold in small quantities) for newer books, after their initial purchase had run out. 3 Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
