PL charge City for alleged breaches of financial rules

not sure that's right given capital letters existed before lowercase.

early writing tended to use straight lines and sharp edges. if you're writing on stone, it’s pretty hard to carve clean curves.

think as parchment became more popular lowercase began to creep in, mostly due to the fact it was quicker. that was between around the 3rd to the 8th centuries.

it's thought romans mixed the cases purely for stylistic reasons and from what i can tell that's where we get it from.

I thought the terminology of upper and lower case, came from when printing presses came into use . Because when they laid out the type for printing they had two boxes/ casses, the Capitals were put in the upper one and the none capitals in the lower case

capital letters cannot exist without lowercase.
a capital letter is a single uppercase instance at the beginning of a lowercase word.

i think you might mean uppercase existed before lowercase,
although, of course, it wasn't named that at the time.


edit:
i shall also repeat my claim that the "capslock" key is incorrectly named.
it should be called summat like the "uppslock" key.

i rest my (upper or lower) case :)

Although Old Roman Cursive predates even that and was used on tablets etc. for informal writing (that's the tablets with wax on them, not Roman iPads). Roman Square Capitals were used for formal writing including, as you say, carving on stone.

Well, if there is no actual news on the thread topic, we may as well talk about something else and the bacon butty adventure seems to have drawn to a close.

its kind of relevant. granted its a completely different take on the "case"

Google it. C-level search refers to recruitment of senior employees. You have to decide if it's true and whether it sheds any light on the announcement.

Another soft signal as per Nephin Man's comment.

I know Ben and he’s a good lad, so I trust what he’s posted. At face value, it seems encouraging from our perspective although I guess there are plenty of other reasons why the PL leadership team are facing scrutiny.

Reminds me of the joke: What's the difference between a cross-country run and Fanny Craddock?
One's a pant in the country....:)

She was a truly appalling person. Reckon she bullied that poor **** she was married to mercilessly. She had quite an interesting backstory iirc.

I'm pretty sure that I worked for the founder of this franchise (Martin Ratcliffe) in the early 80s

The original shop was based in Market Street Droylsden opposite Edna's send a card.

The bakery was a small family run business by Martin and his wife. Their meat pie's were to die for and the sandwiches were made fresh every morning.

The whole operation was so straightforward and would have made a cracking turn key business.
