    European Commission has just announced an agreement whereby English will be the official language of the European Union rather than German, which was the other possibility.

    As part of the negotiations, the British Government conceded that English spelling had some room for improvement and has accepted a 5- year phase-in plan that would become known as “Euro-English”.

    In the first year, “s” will replace the soft “c”. Sertainly, this will make the sivil servants jump with joy.

    The hard “c” will be dropped in favour of “k”. This should klear up konfusion, and keyboards kan have one less letter.

    There will be growing publik enthusiasm in the sekond year when the troublesome “ph” will be replaced with “f”. This will make words like fotograf 20% shorter.

    In the 3rd year, publik akseptanse of the new spelling kan be expekted to reach the stage where more komplikated changes are possible.

    Governments will enkourage the removal of double letters which have always ben a deterent to akurate speling.

    Also, al wil agre that the horibl mes of the silent “e” in the languag is disgrasful and it should go away.

    By the 4th yer people wil be reseptiv to steps such as replasing “th” with “z” and “w” with “v”.

    During ze fifz yer, ze unesesary “o” kan be dropd from vords kontaining “ou” and after ziz fifz yer, ve vil hav a reil sensibl riten styl.

    Zer vil be no mor trubl or difikultis and evrivun vil find it ezi tu understand ech oza. Ze drem of a united urop vil finali kum tru.

    Und efter ze fifz yer, ve vil al be speking German like zey vunted in ze forst plas.

    If zis mad you smil, pleas pas on to oza pepl

    This lot reads like a massive text message 😮

    I live in London and was wondering if people could tell me how bus services are run outside of London. In london TfL tenders routes, operators bid for them and the route is awarded to the best bidder, a bit like with the raileways, but how do things run outide of London. How are routes chosen, do routes get tendered?

    I live in and drive a bus in South London, the main umbrella companies that operate routes in this neck of the woods are Stagecoach, Go-Ahead, National Express. These companies also run smaller companies outside London and routes are won and lost the same way as in London but with respective County Councils rather than TfL.

    My company, London General, are owned by Go-Ahead, as are Metrobus which operate routes in Surrey, Sussex and Kent.

    Does anyone know if bikes are allowed on buses, particularly in the Leeds area?

    Yes but generally at the drivers discretion…!

    Not anyone in my state can go hunting. You have to pay a lot of money to be a hunter and all that money goes to conservation of wildlife in my state.

    A contadiction in terms isnt it…? you have to kill wild life to conserve it.
    Humans die of starvation and desease, is that why we have wars…?
