Curiously I have come across a handful of cases recently where the content is listed on archive.org but marked as unavailable - but the same content is readily available on Youtube albeit with some ad breaks and the inconvenience of of being more of a faff to play (being classic radio shows...

Not necessarily. The Milton Keynes Coachway for example caters for through services as does the Aylesbury bus station.

When the bus station is next to the train station seems fair enough to call them that when giving directions to a lost soul. After all a roadway station if ever used could also mean the taxi rank. On the other hand we don't say planeport.

It is more that it is yet to be determined if an issue is a problem or not.

Four and two then. And what does "relate to" mean in this context?

One modern language usage that bugs the hell out of me is saying "learnings" rather than "lessons". Seems to be a particular favourite of losing sports teams trying to take the positive out of a poor performance.

No matter which variant of 5/Five they go for it will always make them sound like fifth (out of four) in the pecking order of the main FTA broadcasters. Perhaps they need to bite the bullet and go extreme left field in a rebrand and call themselves Best (of the Rest) for example.

It is still a thing. We had a temporary replacement work van a couple of weeks ago with a radio that sat there saying WAIT 11 MINUTES THEN ENTER THE SECURITY CODE Except even after much longer than 11 minutes it did not let you enter the code. That is why I have a portable Bluetooth speaker...

Star Trek could have gone the other way and visited a planet that was -500K. "Its physics Jim, but but not as we know it!" :D

I got told off during an advanced driving session given by a police trainer for not using engine braking but braking and block changing down when approaching a junction. A little unfair as I used engine braking when in staccato traffic but which had the disadvantage of not alerting the driver...

That will just about cover the few seconds it takes for a clerk to read the fixmystreet report and mark it as no action needed without any investigation.

Presumably the upstairs bathroom plumbing runs close above the kitchen ceiling?

One of the light sockets experienced some damp which shorted out the fitting? Steam from the kettle perhaps?
