By the way, when playing Pick-up Song (when the backing track fades, leaving the contestant to sing along until the backing track cuts in again), the backing track is played on a turntable, as some old tracks have yet to be converted to CD. The BBC has a large collection of old LP's and 78's, but these are stored in a basement and over the years have accumulated a lot of dust and wax. Before each show, the presenter goes to the basement with Samantha and watches while she cleans the dust and wax off in the dark.

Samantha recently bought an old Rock Ola juke box, so she went to the record library for some 45s. She found however that her hole in the middle was too small. The two old gentlemen in the record library helped by getting the middle bits out so they would fit her box.

BIlly the Bus, for a Lunnon tube map, try this blue clicky. British locomotives were supposed to carry headlight under a system introduced on the LMSR, which indicated whether the locomotive was pulling an express, or stopping passenger train or whatever. The lights were usually insufficient to light the way for a bicycle, as they were designed for signalmen to read, not drivers to see by. I'll try and find a link.
