The Queen is the only person whose car does not have to have (and doesn't have) a licence plate. I thought some of you might like to know this wholly useless piece of information.

Really Frank? In Birmingham?

Or even, was there a point???????

(Waits for Frank to reply along the lines of it would give the successful applicant the opportunity to talk any members of the Royal Family into resigning and going to live as crofters.)

If you look up any old newspaper article, today's date will appear at the top.
You have to look under the actual headline to see when it was actually published.

What was the point, Frank? confused

Anne58 Wed 27-Mar-13 23:14:03

Frank , as that's what you are, then job's a good 'un.

No need to complain at all.

lucky you.

DM getting me confused - the date at the top of the web page is today's, so why the old article? Very odd!

I would rather be a pensioner in Birmingham.

(under the headline)

Exonerate me, please anno!

annodomini Wed 27-Mar-13 22:22:06

No, exonerate Frank. The date on the newspaper is today's!

Ana Wed 27-Mar-13 22:19:48

Application closing date 31st August 2012....hmm

Did you find an old copy of the DM behind the sofa cushions, Frank? grin

annodomini Wed 27-Mar-13 22:17:37

Isn't the DM a bit out of date headlining this? The closing date was 7 months ago. confused

"Deploy tact and diplomacy"! shock Who's sneaking off to visit who now?!

j08 Wed 27-Mar-13 21:54:59

They can't spell! In the job description it says "vehicules"! shock

The pay may just top up your pension.
