Most blinds found on ebay are those from London Transport buses. There are a small number from the provinces but these don't seem to have the same appeal. London blinds are divided into three main types. The...
This is a specialised market with many pitfalls. In general the UK transport operators (buses in particular) used perhaps four types of ticket machines. The dispenser of preprinted tickets, perhaps adding a...

Caught this on ITV2 the other week and laughed myself daft. It's crude, childish but really appealed to my sense of humour! The puppet skills are dreadful - but then they are supposed to be. I think the s... read full review
