It is. They do want you to open that end. They cannot make you read the microscopic font disclaimers, but they do go to some lengths in the design to push you to open that end.king with our heads. I reckon there's a special code in the braille. They WANT you to open that end.silverthorn2151 said:

Wouldn't that make it tad less useful for the obvious targets, you know, blind people? Anyway it's not hard to find Braille references on line, work it out and let us know. (I might do it myself, I can be a bit sad like that).

The fact that 10 million people tune in to watch a witch and a baker criticise the thickness of icing in that yearly pile of dogsh!t known as The Great British Bake Off!
We have the technology to film and broadcast amazing things, intelligent programmes which are thought provoking and inflame the imagination. Instead the preference is a bunch of divs looking round in anticipation that their gingerbread men may not be as good as someone else's.
Is Mary Berry even human? She reminds me of that creature from X-Files, remember? The one who wakes up every 30 years to eat people's livers. Only she wakes up every 12 months to eat people's cakes, slag them off and then go back to her nest in the broom cupboard with Ed the Duck!

Lollipop ladies who man designated crossings and usher adults across when they have no children with them. Surely it's better to place them somewhere with no crossing?
I would imagine its because there have been incidents of motorists not stopping at the crossing, and it is cheaper to employ a lollipop lady than it is to install pedestrian crossing traffic lights. Just had a quick browse of the BBC news website before I go to lunch.
Looked at the tech page. Top story - something about a 'pron' site being hacked (I didn't click the link as the subject matter could obviously be considered NSFW)
The thing is - emblazoned across the front of the article is a large image of the word "PRON" in neon lights.........and I work in an open plan office - great!

Just had a scan through that article. Why on earth would you provide any real information when signing up to such a site. At least use a self-destructing email address! Looked at the tech page.
