Have a good day.

*        I get the feeling it’s going to be a long wait, Olga!   I may have to send another email!

Talking to Lego … ?   Did I mention a New Scientist exhibition I went to, a while back: my sister took me, Jude, and Jude’s friend, Jaskaran, down to London for it.   Stafford University had something similar going on.   I could’ve sworn I video’d it!   Hopefully, the school should have video available, themselves!

(Oh, I’m assuming you meant 1₂?   Apparently it’s ALT + 8322 … )

As for the phones … ?   ‘Unhelpful’ is putting it mildly!   But the masts will be going up at the same spot.   At least, going by the crane and scaffolding … (I’ve only seen the odd episode of The Apprentice.   But you could tell when Lord Sugar was at the Brentwood office.   There’s only so many Rolls-Royces with AMS1 number plates.)

†        Short doesn’t even start, Debbi!   I was thinking of making every single answer, one: but couldn’t get it to fly!   Although, now I say it?   Writing a question whose answer was ‘won’ could’ve worked.   Oh, well!   (Just so you know?   England, Northern Ireland, Wales and Scotland usually get called countries, or the home countries: usually, the term is ‘home nations.’   Ireland only got included, up until 1922 …)
