But in rhyming slang, you use the non-rhyming word (e.g. "china" = "china plate" = "mate")

someone who lives with the queen

Surely that would be the Queen's lodger?

This is similar to an old joke about former British Prime Minister John Major. His father had been a circus performer, so it was aid that "he'd run away from the circus to become an accountant".

NT (3.x & 4.0) and 2000 were also available as Workstation editions. They were concurrent with Windows 3.x, 95, 98 and ME (which did get missed on the above)

Thanks. I don't know a great deal about Girl Guiding's programme in the UK, but I understand that there's a similar distinction between it and the Scout Association's programme as there is in the US.

In the UK, The Scout Association went fully co-ed in 2007 and Girl Guiding remains a girls-only organisation. Both are doing just fine.

In the new interface, clicking the post title opens the subject of the post (e.g. the linked site or image), whereas the old interface takes you to the post. The only way of accessing the post itself is via the comments link, which is quite small on mobile.

My wife was a "Bikeability" (UK) teacher and this is how they teach people to cycle. Unfortunately there are too many entitled arseholes that can't bear to not be doing the speed limit 100% of the time. And I say this as a car driver.
