Maybe the lady was driving a hire car/courtesy car/stolen car.

It's the Queen's birthday on June 10th, according to custom, but Trooping the Colour is a week later. I always thought they coincided.

I thought that was the whole point of having an official birthday in June, so that the troopers didn't have to freeze their tits off in January simply because that's when the monarch happened to be born.

Maybe it's the Saturday after the official birthday even if that falls on a Saturday.

Google broken, is it? "Since 1979 it has been held on the Saturday in 11-17 June". |

So Liz will get a new prime minister as a birthday present. Given the choice I bet she is wishing she could just have some more socks instead.

This is from a discussion about what went wrong at BA last week: I was asked to look at ways to reduce fault rates for a famous global telecoms provider. I established that a large proportion of faults were due to kit being unplugged at the customer premises. The cleaner and the hoover were regular culprits. My solution was to provide stickers that read "Do not turn off. Call 0800-123-4567 before disconnecting this power supply". The idea was not implemented on the grounds of cost. pprune.org Incidentally, the discussion on The Register is has reportedly been taken down. |

I've long been amused - and probably shared with the group - that my ID card says 'this is not a warrant card' on it. Now our e-Fit identity mock-up pictures say 'this is not a photo'. What next? PCSOs wearing 'this is not a police officer' on their uniforms? |
