  • When I was at school, the bus was a charter from the company that ran the local public bus fleet. Every other time it was running public routes or just part of that companies reserve.

    But this was in the UK, where dedicated school buses are exceptional.

  • Don't worry about the sun expanding to swallow earth! It will gradually get hotter as the core uses fuel and contracts, rendering earth uninhabitable within just 1b years (if we don't beat it to the punch)

  • no one ever gave us anything

    Well, they won't of you don't ask!
    Perhaps it was regional. I was also a kid in the UK (midlands) in the 80's and I, my brother and a few of the other lads from the estate went door to door with "penny for the guy" not everyone answered, but we got enough change to buy sweets.
    Didn't trick or treat back then though.

  • No one was ordering their own abortifacients online in 1967, the rules were to outlaw "backstreet" abortions.

    I don't know what the limit is, but yeah there's a cut-off for when a pregnancy can be terminated without medical necessity. When there is medically necessary it can be performed later.

    Either way the procedure is available for free on the NHS.

    While I think the rules are sound, you'd think the police would have learned from the disgraceful treatment of the mothers who were prosecuted - and subsequently had those convictions quashed - due to SIDS

  • There would still be a need to convert DC to AC, both for that reason and for export to the grid, but the first thing a lot of appliances do is internally convert to DC anywhere. If it became the norm for homes to have a distributed DC supply, there could well be a cottage industry in replacing the PSU component springs up.
