Which of the following most accurately describes the problem?

Keywords : British Rail, Sealink

The official road signs favour Clacketts Lane while the contractor's notice plumps for a2cket Lane A scan of maps in CM'S library is of little help with references to one "t", two "V's and one "s". In one atlas the southern end of the lane is spelt differently from the northern end Which is correct?

5 irms long to be at the cutting edge of industry but a Manx courier took this principle too far when they shredded the answer papers of 35 accountancy students who had sat nine hours of exams (they should have shredded the questions papers and sent the answers on to the examination board).

The herbert standing in front of the vehicle is, I am told, racing driver Johnny Herbert, apparently quite a famous Johnny in this sort of caper. Sadly I lost touch with any sport faster than shove ha'penny after Stirling Moss traded in his racing wheels.
