Another to tax the little grey cells. Along one short strip of the pavement on Coombe Lane, Raynes Park, are these metal studs embedded in the ground. Almost in a straight line. What on earth are they?
Property boundaries. A very kind but strict security team gave my team & I a lesson on those whilst doing a photoshoot in the City of London area. Pointed out that those metal studs or a difference in floor tiles/finish signified the boundary and that we weren't to cross it or the police would be called.

In my case I was shooting a commercial photoshoot without the permission of the land owner (we didn't realise we needed it) so after a few accidental boundary crossings (we were trying to stay on the public part) the law was called...

k's sake. What's the name of the property? I hope the law did them for wasting police time.ashleyman said:

What was the name of the Australian car brand that sold rebadged Mitsubishis in the UK for a short while? Early 1980s I think.

Lonsdale? https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Lonsdale_(car)Saw a very old AC ACEDES today, I guessed 1930 ish, checked on the DVLA data base, ziltch, on Askmid came up as registered, number plate was PN 2782.
So tried DVLA again by entering AC ziltch, BUT one other options on the DVLA site was the make as being AC (electric), this came up as 1929 vintage.
The AC company was reregistered as "AC ACEDES", so the name on the rad as "ACEDES" was part of the make and not model as I first thought.
BUT, why does it only show on the DVLA web site under make as being "AC (ELECTRIC)".
Can't post picture as on another camera and I don't have the cable to download it.

Is it possible to speak badly in most or any foreign languages/
For instance- is "we was" instead of "we were" or "ain't" or the equivalent possible in French or German or do all foreigners use the correct word and grammar?
French and German have widely used colloquial structures - I would think that most languages do. Spanish and Russian also spring to mind.For instance- is "we was" instead of "we were" or "ain't" or the equivalent possible in French or German or do all foreigners use the correct word and grammar?
Grammatically they're not really quite as flexible/malleable as English (for instance in terms of word order) so it's not directly comparable but it's basically the same thing happening.

What is the average earnings and career length of a model? And by model I don't mean a girl with an instagram account but someone who manages to go six months with only income from being photographed.
I only ask after seeing a bus advert with yet another immaculate guy amd girl who I'll almost certainly never see again in anything ever. Even if you are uncommonly good looking, the market must be massively oversubscribed.
